Key areas include Fulham, which has versatile halls like Sands End Arts & Community Centre; Croydon, home to well-priced halls such as The Event Rooms; and Camberwell, where Longfield Hall is a popular choice. These locations offer a good mix of affordable and larger-capacity venues, along with convenient transport links and nearby shops or cafes for extra flexibility on the day.
Many venues allow alcohol, but it depends on their licence. Some, like Bush Hall or The George & Dragon, are licensed to serve, while others may allow you to bring your own with a temporary event notice (TEN). Make sure to check licensing rules in advance, especially if you're hiring a dry venue.
Most party halls include tables, chairs, access to a kitchen or prep area, sound systems, and private toilets. Some venues like Rise Climbing in Docklands or PS49 in Peckham may offer extra equipment like lighting rigs or space for DJs. Always ask the venue host about what's included to avoid any surprises or additional rental fees.
