Students, you truly showed up! The Student Beans Live Large House Party took over Soho earlier this month – and honestly, it was one for the books. Our first ever IRL event meant we had to go big (or go home). We headed to the iconic House Party (the club and bar co-founded by rapper Stormzy in 2024) and turned it into the ultimate Freshers' event, complete with freebies, games, and more good vibes than anyone knew what to do with. Teaming up with some of your favourite brands to takeover each room, it was iconic from start to end. 🥳


Picture this: Seven floors. Endless vibes. Red cups, squishy sofas, numerous slices of pizza… you get the idea. Every room had its own energy, and every brand went all out to keep the crowd entertained, fed, and buzzing. here's how it went down!

When and where it all went down


Date: Saturday, 11th October

Time: 1:20pm – 5:00pm

Address: House Party, 61 Poland St, London, W1F 7NU


Students checked in via the Student Beans app, flashed their verified student ID, and got ready for an afternoon that redefined what a "house party" really means.




Meet the brands that got the party started


Samsung: The Living Room


Samsung turned the Living Room into a tech-powered hangout zone. Students snapped group selfies at the branded photo spot, bagged freebies, and even discovered a secret gaming den hidden in plain sight. A few lucky guests also scored big – with one lucky student walking away with a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S25 FE!




Tinder: The Kitchen


True to form, the party ended up in the kitchen. Tinder kept the vibes alive with DJ beats, sweets, and themed drinks – from cheeky cocktails to delightful mocktails. Between the traffic-light name tag system and the Student Beans x Tinder photo booth, sparks (and plenty of selfies) flew under the neon flame.





Papa Johns: The Basement


Down in the basement, the smell of pizza led the way. Papa Johns served up free slices, drinks, and prizes galore – from the spinning pizza wheel to the giant pizza-box Jenga tower. The retro signage and neon lights gave the whole space major late-night takeaway energy, and yes, everyone left smelling faintly of pepperoni.



Lovehoney: The Parents' Bedroom


Things got spicy in the Parents' Bedroom (don't worry, not that spicy). Lovehoney brought the fun with confessions walls, candy treats, and plenty of playful props. Guests scribbled their funniest Freshers' stories, grabbed handfuls of sweets, and one lucky winner walked away with a £500 advent calendar. Oh – and hundreds of free vibrators found new homes. Naughty but nice, indeed.



Logitech: The Kids' Bedroom


Over in the Kids' Bedroom, Logitech turned things competitive. Students faced off in foosball matches and best-of-five gaming rounds, with dream tech prizes up for grabs. From the laughs to the last-minute goals, this room proved that gaming is serious business… especially when bragging rights are on the line.
