What to think about when organising an event in Clapham

If you're planning a drinks reception, Clapham is a great place to be. It's not far from central London, but it has that village-like feel. There are lots of bars and pubs with event spaces but also some more unusual venues available for hire.

The first thing to think about when you're organising an event in Clapham is how your guests are going to get there. If you have guests coming from central London or further afield then you need to make sure that there is public transport available or at least plenty of parking nearby. You can also hire taxis or minicabs if necessary.

Once you've decided on the location of your drinks reception, Clapham offers many different types of venues depending on what type of event you are planning. You could choose from one of the many bars and pubs in Clapham which offer event space as well as food and drink options. There are also some more unusual venues such as art galleries that may be available for hire if they're not already booked out by another company.

Our favourite Clapham venues for hosting a drinks reception

When it comes to organising drinks receptions it can be a tough task to find the perfect venue. To make the search easier for you we've listed our top three favourites for hosting a drinks reception in Clapham:

Wc - Wine & Charcuterie is a converted Victorian loo and it’s got a truly unique feel to it. Even though some rather unhygienic things have been going on here before, it's now a really cool (and clean) space serving up (you guessed it!) wine and charcuterie. This is the place to be if you’re looking to host a drinks reception in a space that is out of the ordinary. 

Little Orange Door is another favourite with one of London’s cosiest interiors and the friendliest staff south of the river. This quirky space can be hired in part for up to 40 people or as an exclusive hire for 220 guests.

Hope and Anchor is a great option if you’re looking for a medium-sized venue. It’s got room for up to 200 guests in the Rocks Room. You can also hire their garden huts for smaller get-togethers.
