Local venue to hire for a party

Could any one recommend a venue locally that I could hire for a birthday party for up to about 50- 60 people? Have you rented a space for a party or some other event that you were pleased with? I am looking for something local and not too dear - it is definitely not for a corporate event!
Thanks

Apparently they will hire out the entire Wetherspoon Pub at the Elephant. Other pubs (like the Crown, Blackfriars Road) have sometimes got a room for hire. Depending on the kind of venue there are often Tenant Association Halls dottedover the SE1 Area. I think they're probably cheap (http://www.southwark.gov.uk/public/azservices.aspx?mode=Display&itemId=2918 ). Also the Crypt at Liverpool Grove, at the lower half of Walworth Road has a great space and can cater. http://www.in-spire.org.uk/

Hope it's helpful

Recently, SE1'ers have thrown parties at The Leather Exchange pub - there is an upstairs room which you can book

The Terrace Bar at the Young Vic...a great venue and staff could not be more helpful

You may find some of these past discussions helpful:

My wife had her 40th on the English Maid. It is somewhat ramshackle (you really know you are on a boat) but wholly original. The views are incredible.

Hi, I've hired out quite a few things round here for work over the years. The upstairs rooms at Thai Silk on Isabella stree are lovely and the staff are very helpful. Also Upstairs at The Crown on Blackfriars Road is quite a nice venue if you want a pub.

No charge for the room, but you have to put a refundable £100 deposit down just in case you will not show up on the day.

Horse in Westminster Bridge Road has a free-to-hire function room...

Good luck finding/choosing somewhere!
