Hi, I nominated myself (foolishly)to try and find a venue for my work christmas party this year.


Have a mixed group young and older that are looking for somewhere to have a nice dinner and then have a little bit of dancing. Looking in the area as well as, Greenwich, Sydenham, Bromley. Workplace is in Sydenham so trying to find somewhere that is convenient for most people.


I know i'm not going to be able to please everyone and not every one has a great deal to spend that time of year so a lot of things more central are out the running but anyone got any suggestions?

Why not go to the Ivy House 40 Stuart Rd SE153BE. The function room is free and charming...you could contact bon3yard who is a regular contributor to this forum and provides and delivers home cooked food see if he and Dave the Landlord could come to an agreement about delivering it there. The room is an old 1930's dance hall wooden panelled with mirrors and a beautiful Baroque type stage for anyone who fancies showing off. The lighting is all set up too for all types of moods. Go have a look at it one night, Tuesdays they have Salza, Wednesdays is a casual Mix of Musical Minds and every other thursday is the Language Lounge and Pull the Other One Comedyarts Club.

You could try Belair House (is that the name of it now?) on College Road for Christmas party venue. We've been to a wedding reception there and it was a nice venue.


Sean, why don't you book St. Thomas Moore Hall - great Guinness and get an Irish band in.... we'll all be there!

We had a kids birthday party at St. Thomas More Hall a while ago - ?75 to hire the hall and they didn't charge for bar staff as it was Jimmy Burns who runs the place behind the bar (but we did give him a drink or two). It's a bit of 70 retro-shock for decor, but great place otherwise and great for transport links, if that's an issue.

Hi Sooty,


you should check out as suggseted by CANDJ Beauberry House (formely Bel Air), This year they have themed events thoughout december called Winter Wonderland, they offer dinner and entertainement in the form of magician, flame jugglers, DJ (for the dancing bit) and even a casino!!! their number is: 020 8299 9788

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
