1. An iconic South East London venue: The O2 Arena, The O2

Greenwich, South East London

A concert where you and thousands of other fans are screaming your lungs out. Everyone singing in harmony. A nervous first date. You break the ice and decide to yourself that there will probably be a second (and third) date over Pad Thai. A girls night out. First shopping then a stop for burgers and cocktails.


The O2 needs no introduction. This iconic South East London venue has been standing for over a decade (hands up if you remember The Millenium Dome). For concerts, conferences, and award shows, the arena has space for up to 20,000 guests.


For smaller parties, there are 96 VIP suites to choose from.


Now for the main event…

2. The perfect South East London venue for wine lovers: OPS Wines AKA Pedro's Wine Bar

Bermondsey, South East London

Riesling or rosé?


Nestled in a renovated railway arch on Druid Street is where you’ll find OPS Wines, also known as Pedro's Wine Bar. This Portuguese wine bar is a haven for wine lovers and an adventure in wine for newbies in Bermondsey.


Mixing the industrial with rustic and cosy (thanks to the steel and wood interiors), the bar is made up of two floors and an outdoor space where you can sit, sip and chill.


For private hire, this South East London venue has space for up to 150 people. More than enough for a wedding, birthday or work party.


How’s that for a hole in the wall bar?

3. The pinkest venue in South East London: Tonight Josephine Waterloo

Waterloo, South East London

Mirrored ceilings. Pink pillars lit up by neon lights. Pink bathroom stalls plastered with Lindsay Lohan’s mugshots. The famous neon sign reminding you that “Well behaved women don’t make history”. If you’ve not been to Tonight Josephine, then it’s probably crossed your feed at one point.


Stop by for happy hour, bottomless brunch, prosecco pong or karaoke nights (or “sass-aoke” as they like to call it). Slide into a booth and sip on one of their specialist sugary cocktails (Peach Pie, anyone?).


Full venue hire is available as is private room hire. You can find them on Waterloo Road.

4. Head down to this South East London venue for dinner: Dining Room, Berenjak Borough

Borough, South East London

Head down to 1 Bedale Street and step into the world of Berenjak. With red brick walls decorated with portraits on portraits, embroidered red booths and three chandeliers hanging over the dining tables, the Iranian-inspired townhouse feels like a world of its own.


Taking its inspiration from communal eating, the main feature of this South East London venue is the open kitchen.


Being around friends and family during dinner and lunch really make the meal and this is no different. Sit by and watch your meals being cooked or head upstairs to the dining room for an evening of great food and amazing company.

5. Stop by this South East London venue for authentic Mexican flavours: Santo Remedio

London Bridge, South East London

Hibiscus enchiladas. Soft shell crab tacos. Salsa verde and totopos. Grilled vegetable tostadas. Plantain. Horchata. Tepache. Mezcal cocktails. Santo Remedio offers up a mouth-watering menu, that’s for sure.


Step into this South East London restaurant for a little taste of Mexico. And with sourced ingredients, colourful Mexican art lining the walls, and Mexican decor in every corner, you’re closer than you think.


Head to The Cantina on the first floor, where you’ll have your pick of tequila, wine or beer, and then settle down for a flavourful dinner. As it’s also available for private hire, should a special event pop up in the near future, you know where they are (Tooley Street).

How to hire a venue in South East London

We know that finding a venue the old-fashioned way (where you trawl the internet, contact 10 venues or set your heart on one, only to find that they're out of your price range and not even available on your dates) is a pain, and there are a few pitfalls between you and booking your perfect venue. Getting the venue finding process down to a professional art is what we’ve made our mission ever since we took on the events industry. We often get asked the same questions, so here's what we recommend to quickly and easily hire a space in South East London.

Frequently asked questions

For venues in South East London, you're spoilt for choice. Here are a few extra special ones that we vouch for:

The New Yorker Gallery, Lumiere London – Host a successful workshop at this stylish South East London gallery.

There really is no one answer to this question: so many variables come into play when understanding the cost of exclusive hire of a venue or a private space in a venue. How many guests are you planning for? Is the venue for the day, an afternoon, or the night? The good news is that you can find a venue for pretty much any budget (okay, almost any budget). Instead of letting the venue dictate the price, our advice is to be proactive and set a budget that you feel comfortable with – this way the right venues can reach out to you through HeadBox.

There are lots of ways to book a South East London venue. You can do the old-fashioned thing and pick up the phone, or email the venue directly.
