Birthday Dinner · 40 guests · November 2025
In accordance with our agreement, the venue was exactly as expected. The staff were extremely helpful in assisting us with the setup for our event, and the space had all the facilities we needed. The price was very good, and I would happily use their services again.

FAQ

Yes, a Bluetooth speaker is available, or hirers are welcome to bring their own equipment. As the venue is in a residential area, music must not be loud or disruptive to neighbours.

A Bluetooth speaker is available for use.

The private event spaces and library are hired out of hours only; the library cannot be hired while it is open to the public. The library service is run by Lambeth Council, and requests for filming in public areas during opening hours would need to go through the council.

Yes, an air conditioning unit and fans are available, but the library is an old building and difficult to keep cool on very hot days.
