Like the idea, but still aren’t sure what kind of small venue would suit your event best? These are the most popular kinds of small venues in London:

• Bars and pubs for hire – these are splendid for fun get-togethers with your friends or colleagues. Is there anything more blissful than laughing and chatting over a nice cold pint of beer? Here at Tagvenue, we list a range of pint-size pubs, hole-in-the-wall cafes and dinky drinking spaces for small shindigs and low-key gatherings.

• Tea rooms – a small, dainty space is perfect for creating a relaxing and calm atmosphere. Elegant finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and clotted cream mean it’s time for high tea! What’s more, organizing a tea party in London is a wonderful idea for a small bridal shower.

• Small pop-up spaces – looking for a space for your teensy pop-up shop, or a hip cafe for a mini art exhibition? London has a host of small venues willing to put on creative events, and Tagvenue is here to help you find them.
