The actress had earmarked the famous venue to mark her 57th birthday with a grand celebration next week.
But sources are now claiming that after the Chiltern Firehouse was closed last year following a fire, it's nowhere near ready to host guests, with vast renovations and repairs still underway.
Jennifer had been set to host a private, invitation-only party at the legendary London venue and was due to fly into the UK in the coming days.
Chiltern Firehouse was closed in February 2025 after a fire stemming from a pizza oven ripped through the ground floor, causing the partial destruction of the celebrity hotspot.
Since its opening in 2013, its seen the likes of Sienna Miller, Noel Gallagher, Kate Moss and Princess Beatrice on the premises over the years.

But the former Friends star will now have to find a new place to host her celebrations, with The Sun claiming it's now unclear whether she will still have them in the UK.
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Jennifer Aniston and Chiltern Firehouse for comment.
Jennifer previously celebrated her 50th birthday in style with a grand party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in LA, where guests included George and Amal Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow and even her ex-husband Brad Pitt.
Chiltern Firehouse first opened its doors on the streets of Marylebone in 2013, and it became an instant celeb hotspot, with the Daily Mail's food critic Tom Parker Bowles joking that 'even God would have to wait for a table'.

The Chiltern Firehouse is a restaurant and boutique hotel, with rooms costing as much as £5,000 per night, and occupies the Grade II listed building of the former Marylebone Fire Station.
It opened in 2013 and has 26 suites and is extremely popular with both A-list celebrities and royals.
Originally built it 1889, the building is now owned by American hotelier Mr Balazs, who also runs the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, California, and Sunset Beach Hotel on Shelter Island, New York.
Some of the hotel's A-list customers include Madonna, Orlando Bloom, Tom Cruise, Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Sources claimed that after the Chiltern Firehouse was closed last year following a fire, it's nowhere near ready to host guests, with vast renovations and repairs still underway.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also reportedly seen sneaking into the hotel before their relationship was made public.
In October, it was reported that accounts for Chiltern Firehouse showed that a planned reopening date was set for April 2027.
A statement in the documents, acquired by City AM, said: 'On 14 February, 2025, the hotel suffered a fire which has resulted in the hotel needing to close for refurbishment and claim on both buildings and business interruption insurance policies.
'On both policies the insurer has accepted liability and has made initial payments on account in meaningful sums.
'Under the business interruption policy the hotel is covered for three years loss of earnings whilst the refurbishment takes place and therefore the company expects to see no material drop in profits.

'This allows the company to fully re-instate the property whilst still earning the same forecasted revenues for the period of closure up until the point where earnings match the forecasted earnings within the same period.'
