Finding a birthday party venue in London can sometimes be harder than planning the actual party. You need enough space for the children, somewhere parents can sit, suitable access for your suppliers and, if you’re hiring a bouncy castle or soft play, enough room to actually set everything up.
We’ve put together 25 London halls, community centres and party spaces worth considering for your child’s next birthday party.
Some are simple community halls where you can bring in your own entertainment and equipment, while others have outdoor spaces or additional facilities.

Before Booking a London Party Venue
Don’t book purely because the hall looks nice or the price seems good. If you’re bringing in children’s party suppliers, ask the venue these questions first:
| What to Ask the Venue | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| What is the maximum capacity? | Make sure the number includes both children and adults. |
| How much setup time is included? | Party suppliers may need 30 to 60 minutes before guests arrive. |
| Can I bring external suppliers? | Some venues have restrictions on outside entertainers and hire companies. |
| Are bouncy castles allowed? | Never assume they are, always get permission first. |
| Is there enough indoor or outdoor space? | Check that your chosen equipment will comfortably fit. |
| What is the floor or ground surface? | This can affect how inflatables and other equipment are secured. |
| Is there parking and supplier access? | Your suppliers may need to unload large or heavy equipment close to the venue. |
| Are tables and chairs included? | If not, you may need to hire these separately. |
| Is there a kitchen? | Helpful if you’re bringing party food, drinks or a birthday cake. |
| What time must everything be removed? | Make sure there is enough time for suppliers to pack down and collect equipment. |

FAQs
- How far in advance should I book a kids’ party venue in London?
For popular weekend dates, we’d recommend starting your venue search several months ahead where possible. Availability varies considerably between venues.

Sometimes, but you need the venue’s permission first. Check ceiling height, available floor space, access and the venue’s rules before booking an inflatable.
- Can Childsplay Hire deliver directly to my party venue?
Yes, subject to location, access and availability. When enquiring, send us the venue name or postcode along with your party date and times.
- What should I check before paying a venue deposit?
Check the total hire period, setup and pack-down time, capacity, supplier access, parking, cancellation terms and whether your planned entertainment or equipment is permitted.
