The venue was spacious and clean. There was plenty of space for my guests to stand and dance or sit, staff were friendly, attentive and accommodating and the toilets were maintained well. We were able to get in early to decorate the place and allowed enough time to clean up after. The speakers and sound system sounded great, mics were great for our performers and sounded clear and the venue was easy for guests to find. Good value for money and ended at a good time of 2am

Verified Reviews of 40th Birthday Venues in East London
We rented AAVO for my 40th birthday and it was a perfect space - there were 25 of us, including 5 toddlers who loved exploring the enclosed outdoor space. The food was excellent and Sapna even packed up food for some guests who had to leave early before the food was served. We felt well looked after but also left to use the space as we wished. I would definitely recommend it for party hire!
Limehouse town hall is a fantastic venue for any event, there’s so much flexibility to make the space look and feel how you want it and Sam and the team are so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The venue can hold a lot of people and can stay open late for music and drinks. We had a brilliant party, made particularly atmospheric by colourful up lights. Don’t be put off by the fact it’s a bit rough around the edges, it only adds to the charm and ambience for any event. All our guests loved the venue and so did we!
The staff were all great, friendly and efficient. The Pink Room is a really nice space, perfect for our group of adults and kids.
I absolutely loved loved loved everything about this venue especially the staff! They made everything sooooo easy for us and really went above and beyond I can’t remember the names of the bar staff we had but they were truly amazing! Thank you all so much for making our night so pleasant
The venue was perfect for my 40th birthday. The room doesn’t need any decorating. Location is great. Food was good. Service was also great except for one member of staff who wasn’t as friendly as others. Thanks for having me, my family and friends.
The venue itself was great. Perfect for our joint 40th party of around 80-90 people. I was looking for an intimate venue that catered well for live music. The sound tech was really helpful with the band and the sound was great.
Great and speedy communication Very good service, nothing was too much trouble Venue perfect size and location, worked very well with a band
