Community halls and centres usually offer the most flexible slots and often include a kitchen, tables and chairs. Church halls are typically the most affordable and suit quieter events and weekly groups, though Sunday availability can be limited. School halls tend to be the largest — many take 100+ guests — and are available evenings, weekends and school holidays.
If budget is the priority, look beyond the hourly rate: minimum hire times, whether setup and cleanup time is charged, and what is included make the real difference. Halls in outer boroughs — Enfield, Redbridge, Bexley, Havering — are usually cheaper than comparable spaces near the centre for the same capacity.
Capacity is the first filter, then kitchen access if you are serving food, then parking or step-free access if guests need it. Most hall listings on Sharesy state whether you can bring your own food, whether alcohol is allowed, and how strict the finish time is — halls attached to schools and churches usually need events wrapped up by a fixed hour.
For the London listings shown here, hourly hire ranges from £10 to £136/hour and a typical listed hourly price is around £49/hour. Prices vary by date, time, facilities and booking rules, so compare the live price information on each listing before booking.

Hall listings are strongest in north and east London — Barnet, Haringey, Hackney and Islington all have deep pools of community and church halls — but every region has options. Use the borough pages to compare halls close to your guests.
Many do, and it is one of the biggest practical differences between listings. Each Sharesy listing states what is included — check for kitchen access, furniture, and whether you get free setup time before your booking starts.
