The venue space was well maintained, clean and spacious enough to lay out all the food for our engagement party whilst leaving plenty room for guests to mingle and dance without it being too crowded. The bar staff, Susanna and her team were very helpful and excellent through out the night ensuring the night went smoothly.

London is a big and energetic city full of many interesting function rooms that are worth your attention. It may seem like an almost impossible task to try to narrow down the selection of rooms and choose the perfect one. Start by considering hiring a venue in the City of London, Covent Garden or Farringdon or perhaps even south of the Thames in Waterloo or Battersea. All of these districts offer a long list of venues that are also highly accessible from any other part of London.
Small function rooms are one of the more affordable venues available in London. The best ways to keep costs down are to limit the number of people you are inviting and hire the venue on a per person basis. If you are inviting more people or will have people coming and going throughout your party, a minimum spend option may be for you. Getting a premium bar package is often expensive as well, so limit your guests to an open beer and wine bar and give them the option to pay for a cocktail if they desire.

Verified Reviews of Small Function Rooms in London
Heist Bank provided an exceptional experience for both myself and my group. I had reserved the games room for a birthday celebration, and the staff demonstrated remarkable attentiveness and helpfulness throughout our visit. The room was well-equipped with board games, a games console, karaoke, and convenient access to plug in my laptop, all of which functioned flawlessly. I would not hesitate to book this venue again and highly recommend the games room for future events.
Belushi's thank you so much for an incredible venue, incredible staff and a great band and DJ. The food was amazing, the bar staff were so friendly and helpful and we all had an amazing time! Would recommend this venue for anyone looking to throw a party, the venue roped off our area, which was so big and spacious with lots of seating and standing options, we had an incredible evening, thank you again!
This was an incredible venue! The staff were so amazing - the chefs, the bartender, all the service was so kind and helpful. Pranav was so helpful and accommodating. The Sri Lankan food was incredible! The place was so nice and such a wonderful space to spend an evening with friends. Could not recommend this place more, thank you so so much!
Fantastic venue for my partner’s 30th birthday! The perfect size for 50 people with enough room to spread out and also have a few people seated. We ordered food which continued to be replenished as and when people finished eating. Overall a great venue with fantastic communication with Craig the events manager.
Wow what a venue! After walking over 190 miles to Wembley raising funds for our charity this venue was the icing on the cake. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, Julie and the team were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for our family & friends. The beautiful decor and that incredible view of Wembley stadium was something we will remember for a very long time. We will absolutely be back in the future. Thank you to all the team!
I loved I could have early access the venue which meant I could set up with no stress before the event. They were amenable to my catering needs having quite a few allergies, different requests. Staff were kind and helpful! The guests commentated on how great the venue was. It is fabulously unique and artsy! Would highly recommend x
I had my 40th/10th bday bash last night and had an excellent night. The staff have been fantastic from start to finish they were extremely attentive from helping blow up balloons during the prep and handling my birthday cake. The value of this venue was by far the best I could find for the region it was in and would definitely recommend this venue for a private function.
