The AHOY Centre

The AHOY Centre offers two accessible spaces for organisers seeking a distinctive riverside setting in Deptford, south-east London. The main function room is a light-filled space with a viewing balcony overlooking the River Thames, with views towards Canary Wharf and Royal Greenwich. It can host up to 100 people and suits wedding receptions, parties, conferences, training sessions and corporate away days.

For smaller gatherings and work-focused events, the adaptable training room accommodates around 30 to 60 people. It has natural daylight, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a projector, whiteboard and flipchart, making it practical for meetings, workshops and training. Both rooms have lift access and accessible toilets, and the venue provides Wi-Fi. The main room also has PA speakers and microphones, and organisers may bring their own music or DJ.

The AHOY Centre can discuss bespoke room-hire and catering arrangements to suit each booking. Organisers can enquire about their event date, timings, guest numbers and intended use, then work with the venue to plan the details. Its Thames-side outlook gives receptions and celebrations a memorable backdrop, while the meeting facilities support corporate and educational gatherings. With two room sizes, accessible facilities and a choice of social and business uses, the centre offers a flexible base for events in London. The venue is operated by a charity whose wider work centres on sailing, rowing and other water-based activities, so bookings take place in a setting closely connected to the river.
