Event/Function Spaces at Simmons | Clapham

The disco ball throws light across 200 of your closest friends while someone inevitably challenges the high score on our Pac-Man machine. Full Venue hire at Simmons Clapham transforms our entire space into your personal party playground, complete with that famous bowling pin DJ booth that's become something of a local legend. We're talking about taking over all of 165 Clapham High Street, just a quick walk from Clapham Common Station. Your guests get exclusive run of our retro-fitted wonderland, from the glowing bar that stretches along one wall to the cozy booths where people catch their breath between dance floor sessions. Those vintage arcade machines? They're all yours, along with our photo booth that captures every questionable dance move and triumphant gaming moment. Our DJs know exactly what gets a crowd moving, spinning party anthems and guilty pleasures from that quirky bowling pin booth until the early hours. With our late license keeping things going until 3am Thursday through Saturday, there's plenty of time for everyone to work their way through our cocktail menu. Speaking of which, bring your crew during our legendary happy hour (4pm-9pm Sunday to Friday) for 2-for-1 cocktails, or grab one of our £15 cocktail teapots on Saturdays. The space flows naturally between dancing, gaming, and socializing zones. We've got proper air conditioning that keeps things comfortable even when the dance floor heats up, reliable Wi-Fi for those mid-party posts, and private toilets so nobody misses the best moments. High stools dot the bar area while our eclectic wall art and neon lighting create that perfect party backdrop. Want to bring your own DJ or create a custom playlist? We're set up for that. Need external catering for your event? No problem. We've built this space for proper celebrations, whether that's milestone birthdays, company parties, or just because Thursday deserves a proper send-off.

The Semi-private back area sits right behind our famous bowling pin DJ booth, where warm neon light spills across retro arcade machines and creates that perfect party atmosphere you're after. We've designed this space for groups who want their own corner of the action while still feeling connected to the energy that makes our venue legendary. Up to 50 of your guests can stand comfortably here, or we can arrange seating for 30 if you prefer a more relaxed setup. High tables and bar stools line the walls, giving everyone a place to perch between arcade battles and dance floor moments. The eclectic wall art and vintage gaming machines create talking points throughout the night, while the open layout means there's always room to move when your favourite song comes on. Our fully stocked bar sits just steps away, so no one misses a beat waiting for drinks. During those famous five-hour happy hours (4pm-9pm Sunday to Friday), your group can take advantage of 2-for-1 cocktails, £2.50 single spirit mixers, and £3 beers. On Saturdays, we bring out the £15 cocktail teapots alongside the 2-for-1 deals. Thursday through Saturday nights, our resident DJ keeps the party anthems and sing-along classics spinning until 3am. While we don't allow external DJs, our team takes requests and knows exactly how to read a room. The photo booth captures those moments you'll actually want to remember, and yes, the air conditioning works brilliantly when the dance floor heats up. Getting here couldn't be easier with Clapham Common Station just around the corner. We've hosted everything from milestone birthdays to leaving dos in this space, and each time, people leave talking about the arcade games, the cocktails, and how they completely lost track of time.
