The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, very considerate. The room itself was perfect! They paid good attention to detail and made our day as special as it could have been. We had great communication, from day one with Emma to the people who helped us on the day, including Leo. They catered to our specific needs and nothing was too much for them.

Verified Reviews of Affordable Venues in Central London
I had an outstanding experience at Great Guns Social. The staff, particularly Pepa, demonstrated excellent communication leading up to the event. Beni and the team ensured everything ran smoothly on the night, from well-set tables with name tags to prompt service of delicious starters and mains. The tiramisu was a delightful finale, and overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Second time hiring this venue for a birthday! Great venue, beautiful vibe, super warm heating, lovely lighting. Blankets and cushions provided and tables and everything was perfectly clean. Kitchen was so useful and we were able to make tea coffees and refill waters etc. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Everyone had a wonderful time! Thank you.
Das Venue ist sehr schön geschmückt, sauber und and sehr gut gelegen. The staff ist sehr freundlich und antwortet sehr schnell. Alles war top. 베뉴 너무 깔끔하고 이뻐요. 유럽에서 찾기 어려운 정말 이쁜 장소였어요. 사장님도 너무 친절하시고 답장도 빠르셨어요.
For the price and the area this was a good venue and we got lots of positive feedback about the food. It is good that the space has a dedicated entrance and toilets adjacent that mostly aren't used by other customers. I was able to play my own music. Service was on the whole pretty good and we had a dedicated bar person.
Great location, super close to the tube/train and to lots of eatery places. Facilities were pretty good and although not the biggest room we were comfortable. Screen and equipment was in good working order and the air con was a blessing. Teas, coffee, juice and biscuits provided as promised. Great service overall
Such a unique and fun experience which is exactly what I was after for my 30th celebration dinner with 12 guests. Great location and easy to find in Camden. Miles allowed me to visit the boat before the event so I could plan how I wanted to decorate. We brought everything we needed including all food and drinks. We were lucky to have such a mild night in November so we had the roof off the whole night. Highly recommend if you're after something a little different.
Everyone was super friendly, helpful and attentive The location was great, very central. The venue itself is aesthetically pleasing and dynamic - you can do a lot in this room. We hosted a hen party there, played games, ate a big meal and it worked - so even though it's a meeting room, it doesn't feel too corporate-y. It's warm and quirky.
