I need a U18-friendly venue to hire in London on a Saturday evening...

So, venues keep telling me that they can't handle U18s under any circumstances, but this is clearly nuts - what about wedding receptions and stuff? I need somewhere (like a bar/pub kind of place) to hire exclusively for a wrap-party, for around 250 people, with a minimum spend of about £3k maximum... but I really really want a small number of U18 would-be-invitees to be able to attend. Any suggestions?

I've been to events at the Rivoli Ballroom which is an interesting place. It's got a bit of a cool-shabby-retro rather than a trendy and polished look.
This place seems to have their contact details

I was just about to suggest the Rivoli myself. It's a cool venue, I love the retro feel about the place. A bit difficult to get to though, there's no Underground, although there is an overground station close by.

The HAC pops up as a result for "Under 18s Party Venues".

Best answer: Not a personal recommendation, but I've just noticed that the Perplex City crew are having a party to which under-16s are explicitly welcome, hosted at The Sterling. So it looks like they are an underage-friendly venue.

Response by poster: Hahaha, yeah, that was the place we chose in the end (I was the person trying to find a venue for the Perplex City party!)
