Top Birthday Party Venues in Highbury
Looking for birthday party venues in Highbury? Here, you'll find basement spaces with live DJs and late licenses, neighbourhood pubs with reservable corners or entire garden areas, and larger halls often used for local events but just as popular for birthday celebrations. The area’s compact, walkable layout means guests can move from party to post-party in no time. Holloway Road, Blackstock Road and Highbury Barn all have late-night bites (locals swear by the fish & chips at the unassuming Chippy opposite Highbury and Islington station, quietly serving up hot food to pub-goers and party people until late). If you’re planning a daytime celebration, Highbury Fields remains one of the few green spaces in inner North London with enough room for a picnic-style get-together before heading to your venue nearby. Check out our birthday party faves below! Cheers!
