We hired out the Fire Station for a joint birthday event for ~ 50 people. The venue was perfect! A good mix of a lively atmosphere but not too loud where you can’t hear someone close by. The area we had booked was a great size, nicely cordoned off but still close enough that you felt like you were part of the main venue. Photo Booth was a great touch. Also the DJ coming on later in the evening was unexpected but a fantastic addition. The organisers were prompt with responding when arranging. We paid a small amount as a deposit to secure the venue, this was then returned to us as a bar tab during the evening with no issues. Overall a fantastic experience which made for an excellent birthday celebration - thank you!!

Verified Reviews of Party Venues in Southwark
I loved the venue! I was looking for a place which would feel low-key and cute, and fit about 30 guests in an intimate setting. The staff were super kind, helpful and flexible. I loved how quiet the road was while still being a central London location and the cocktails were delicious. Menu with my name on it was a fun little touch! Really enjoyed my night and would definitely recommend to others. In the summertime having 40 guests would work really well, I imagine, but in the winter I was happy I didn't have more than 30!
We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at this venue, and overall it was a lovely experience. The staff on the day were incredibly friendly and helpful, which really made us feel welcome. The location is excellent, very convenient for guests travelling from different areas and the views from the terrace are beautiful, creating a special and memorable atmosphere. In summary, it’s a great venue with fantastic staff and a wonderful setting, but with some improvements in communication, food presentation, and drink service, it could be truly outstanding.
The venue had spectacular views of the river, St Paul’s and the city of London, which was an amazing backdrop for my partner’s birthday celebrations. The venue was a perfect size with beautiful decor. The staff, from our events planner Laura, who put up with my many demands with understanding and patience to the waiting staff on the night headed by Kira, were efficient, accommodating, professional and truly wonderful. We had a fabulous night to remember. A huge thank you to all involved.
I had such a great experience at Glasshaus. From start to finish -- everything was smooth and clear. I talked to Amy over email who made everything clear. On the day, Finn was so helpful and solved all of my issues immediately. The venue itself was perfect for my event and I received so many compliments on it. As well as the drinks! And lots of guests went around to get food, so that was super convenient. Overall, I'm very pleased and hope to use your venue again in the future. It's my first time ever hiring a venue and planning an event, so I'm just happy everything went smoothly. The microphone setup worked well, as well as the music (Finn lent me one of their laptops!), and they turned the heating on so my guests weren't cold. Plus, there was a restroom right outside, which was super convenient.
1. Kristina has been instrumental in helping us to organise our successful event, which reduced a lot of our stress! She is very responsive and transparent. 2. The venue is very well maintained, gorgeously designed and clean. All of our guests is so happy about the location being so central - easily get to from all directions of London. 3. Kristina and her team on the night was so efficient and helpful. They helped with setting up the place and decorations. They are very well equipped as well. For example, we had a cake and brought a not very steady cake stand. The team came to rescue with their cake stand and cutting knife. 4. Food was delicious! We had canapes and platters. We wish we ordered more of the salmon!
I held my 30th birthday party here and was really pleased. Helpful staff both in the lead-up to the event and during the event. Loved the setting, the room is beautifully decorated and the location is easy to get to. We used the screen to project something during the event which was a nice touch. Food was delicious and the staff were great.
EVERYTHING. The weather was rubbish so we were able to go inside, it was the perfect size space for all of our guests. We were able to put up decorations and the staff were so good even when we were loud etc. Could not recommend the venue more for a very chilled party vibe and the most unique venue to party with your friends. Thank you so much!
