As one of the older parts of London, Southwark offers a number of unique and atmospheric venues. Start your search along the banks of the river Thames, where you will find a number of exquisite pubs as well as some historical venues, both on and off the water! The venues in Waterloo and around London Bridge are probably the most convenient choice, as they’re located next to many public transport stations. This part of Southwark is also brilliant for industrial-style venues, including repurposed factories and warehouses. If you’re looking for large wedding venues, Bermondsey and Peckham offer some fantastic spaces that can fit a crowd. Camberwell, on the other hand, is your best shot for small and intimate venues for your special day.
The venue was great and the it was a fantastic event. It was really nice having our own space to enjoy the evening and the staff were very polite and pleasant to deal with.
The staff were lovely and the free barista coffee was such a nice suprise - really elevated our meeting
This was a great venue, A really lovely space and the drinks prices were reasonable, The venue hire was also very good price compared to others and i would look at this again. I think they could had more staff behind the bar,
For the price, this is one of the best value locations on the South Bank. Banging bbq for post wedding after party
The venue is great for the exhibition memorial that we held. There was good space for artwork and the staff were discreet and got on with their thing but weee there for any questions.
Great team to work with - really responsive & accommodated our needs. The Mala Madre room is a very nice space - many guests commented on how beautiful the room was. They let us play music that was loud enough for dancing, and the food was tasty! Would recommend to others
- The location is great and having the terrace on a dry evening was wonderful to be able to look out onto the Thames - staff have been very helpful all through the process, from booking to on the night - lovely buffet
Fantastic venue with the wow factor, both day and night, with plentiful seating, quirky furniture and huge character even if it is a blank canvas. Bryony was hugely helpful and attentive and I could not not recommend the venue more highly.
