Venues for 60th birthday party - suggestions?


EDoriginal

Recommended Posts

Hi - having grown up in East Dulwich, I no longer live in the area and find myself organising a birthday party for a relative in the area but all the pubs/halls etc seem to have changed dramatically! Are there any places anyone on here would recommend around East Dulwich for a party for around 50 people? Nice room above a pub would be ideal open to other ideas. Is a pretty young 60 so not an issue if the pub downstairs was full of trendy young professionAl types who are new to London (not sure if any other type of place exists in ED now?!)

Thanks very much in anticipation

Albrighton centre (opposite Dog kennel hill sainsburys ) have an upstairs room or main hall down stairs they both come with kitchen to prep food.


Or try the function room / bar area at Hamlets health club next door to dog kennel hill sainsburys.



Hope this helps.

Everyone I know, including myself, who has ever tried to hold an event there has had problems of one kind or another.


I'd recommend the lovely ballroom in The Ivy House (community owned pub in Nunhead, and in fact London's first community owned pub) - though I'm biased as I have community shares in it (!!) - or for a smaller room the upstairs panelled room at The Old Nun's Head.


They are both within easy reach of East Dulwich, and the management and staff at both are friendly and helpful.

    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
