If you want a high‑energy kids party that keeps every child engaged and leaves parents free to relax, choosing the right venue is everything. Community halls give you the space, flexibility and control to design a party that feels personal. They are usually much larger than activity centres and are blank canvases you can turn into anything you want.


In this article, we explore 10 of the best halls in central London and explain why they work so well with professional kids party entertainment. Each venue has been checked for authenticity; details about capacity, layout and facilities come from their official websites.



St Pancras Community Association Hall

The main hall at St Pancras Community Association is a bright 9 × 10 m space with a sprung wooden floor and reversible mirrors. The hall can be set up as a dance studio, exercise room, conference hall or party venue and comes with optional seating and tables. Its adaptable layout makes it ideal for structured party games, magic shows and discos.




The Crypt on the Green

Crypt on the Green is a dry‑hire venue underneath St James’s Church in Clerkenwell. It retains vaulted brick ceilings, natural light and an original parquet floor. These historic features create a memorable atmosphere. Because the space is open and uncluttered, it is perfect for larger parties with interactive entertainment and lets you design a unique theme.




St James’s Church Hall Piccadilly

St James’s Church Piccadilly offers a multi‑use event space that can accommodate up to sixty guests. Located off Piccadilly, it’s easy for families and entertainers to reach. The hall’s simple layout and central location make it a practical choice for city‑based parties where parents want convenient access and a flexible room for games and performances.




Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre, South Bank

Coin Street offers flexible spaces that can be configured for small gatherings or large celebrations. The building is modern, sustainable and fully accessible, which makes it a comfortable place for children and parents alike.


On‑site facilities mean you can set up music, games and party entertainment without hassle. Booking here supports the centre’s not‑for‑profit community projects, so your party helps fund local initiatives.




St Matthew’s Conference Centre, Westminster

St Matthew’s in Westminster makes for a private and modern children's party venue with a range of halls and rooms. Its simple layout and courtyard garden provide a calm setting where entertainers can run games and shows without distractions, with great amenities for outdoor kids parties. Staff are on hand to help set up the space, and the modern facilities ensure your party runs smoothly.

The Abbey Centre, Westminster

The Abbey Centre provides an affordable community venue with halls that can accommodate up to 180 guests. The spaces enjoy natural light, wheelchair access and on‑site catering which makes it perfect for those multi-age kids parties where nans and grandads might want to make an appearance.


Located near Westminster Abbey and Parliament Square, it’s easy to find. Proceeds from venue hire support community programmes, so hiring this space for your kids party also benefits local residents.




St Ethelburga’s Centre, Bishopsgate

This unique venue might look a little too luxurious for a kids party, as it combines a 14th‑century nave with a calm Bedouin tent. The nave has high ceilings, original arches and a stained‑glass window, and is fitted with an in‑house sound system and projector.


The Bedouin tent however offers an intimate space with its own garden. And for smaller parties or outdoor kids parties, this combination provides a peaceful yet distinctive setting close to Liverpool Street that will really impress guests of all ages.




Mary Ward House, Bloomsbury

Mary Ward House is a Grade I listed building with a large hall that seats 350 and stands 400. The hall enjoys abundant natural light and period detailing, giving it an elegant feel. This makes it ideal for premium childrens party venue experiences where parents want a historic backdrop and plenty of room for guests, games, entertainers, food tables and decorations.




Marchmont Community Centre, Bloomsbury

Marchmont Community Centre is a vibrant organisation offering flexible spaces for celebrations. Its main hall accommodates 80 people standing or 50 seated and includes free Wi‑Fi, use of a kitchen and an HD television.


The hall’s simple layout and local feel are perfect for classic party formats such as discos and interactive magic shows (like in our Wizards Workshop, Hassle-free and Deluxe Party).



St Luke’s Community Centre, Islington

St Luke’s Community Centre has two spaces suited to children’s parties. The Garden Room has a private entrance, terrace and lots of natural light; it serves as a blank canvas for high‑energy outdoor kids parties.


The Studio is a bright room with high ceilings, mirrors and a barre, available at weekends with dedicated children’s party packages. Both venue spaces are flexible and allow guests and entertainers to make the most of the room.


Why Halls and Professional Entertainers Work so Well Together

A hall provides the space; a good kids party entertainer provides the experience. When you hire a hall, you are free to choose games, music and activities that suit your child’s interests and age. An experienced entertainer from Non Stop Kids Entertainment structures the party so that every child is engaged, using the room to create high‑energy non-elimination games, magic shows and disco sessions. Parents can relax because everything is coordinated from start to finish.


If you’re planning a party in central London, choosing one of these halls and pairing it with a professional childrens party entertainer will give you control and a memorable experience for your child and their friends.
