The warm scent of old books and polished wood greets you as you step into The Library at Upper Norwood Library Hub, where Victorian character meets contemporary functionality. This isn't your typical event space; it's an actual working library that transforms into something magical after hours, accommodating up to 100 seated guests or 150 standing for your celebration. Picture your guests mingling beneath high ceilings, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that create an atmosphere both scholarly and celebratory. The original parquet flooring gleams under natural light that pours through the large windows during daytime events, while our stage lighting system sets the perfect mood for evening gatherings. That striking pegboard wall adds an unexpected modern twist to the heritage setting, creating brilliant backdrops for photos. We've equipped the space with everything you need: a professional PA system for speeches or performances, a projector for presentations, and flexible seating arrangements that work equally well for wedding ceremonies, birthday parties, or artistic showcases. You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks, and yes, alcohol is permitted until midnight, giving you complete freedom to celebrate your way. The beauty of hosting here extends beyond the books and Victorian details. Our lift provides easy access for all guests, with step-free entry throughout and designated parking for those who need it. Just a short walk from Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill stations, your guests will find us easily. Recent celebrations here have included everything from intimate wedding receptions to lively birthday parties and cultural performances. As one happy client noted, we're on hand throughout to ensure everything runs smoothly. The Library offers that rare combination: a space with genuine character that still delivers all the practical elements your party needs.
