The Regent in Balham is a neighborhood pub with five bookable areas for private parties, from 20 guests in the gallery to 250 in the secret garden. It suits team celebrations, work parties and larger get-togethers in south-west London. The address is 21 Chestnut Grove, Balham, London SW12 8JB.
Seminars and company events
The pub presents its private hire for birthdays, celebrations and work parties. It does not describe a seminar offer, so treat it as a place for team socials, end-of-project drinks and company get-togethers rather than a daytime conference venue. The listed facilities are Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a heated garden, screens and a microphone. The larger back area includes three giant screens, which helps for a screening or a shared moment at a company party.
Rooms and capacities
Five areas can be hired. Each page lists a capacity range, and the home page and the private hire page give slightly different figures for some of them. We show the wider range below.
Rita, the area behind the arch, takes 40 to 200 guests. For larger events the whole back area can be hired, with three giant screens, access to the terrace and a private bar. Coco, the gallery area, is a raised space for 20 to 35 guests, suited to a drinks reception or a sit-down meal. Annie, the dining area, is also raised and takes 40 to 100 guests for the same uses.
Two areas are in the secret garden. Dorothy, the pergola area, takes 50 to 80 guests for a sit-down dinner, drinks and mingling, or a mix of both. Queens Tower, the secret garden area, takes 50 to 250 guests on the same terms. The pub says the outdoor areas can be covered and heated, so a winter booking stays possible. Minimum spends may apply to every area.
Catering
The team helps with food, drinks and the details of the event. A sit-down meal is possible in the gallery, the dining area and the garden areas. The kitchen serves from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, from 11 a.m. on Saturday and from 12 p.m. on Sunday. The pub also runs a Sunday roast and a Christmas offer, which the venue shows on its own pages.
Getting there
The pub sits at 21 Chestnut Grove in Balham, London SW12 8JB. The official text does not name a station, so check the walking route when you plan your guests' journeys. The bar opens from 12 p.m., closes at 11 p.m. Monday to Thursday and runs until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, which gives room for a late party. Young children are welcome with adults, and the pub applies a Challenge 25 policy after 7 p.m.
