When I was PTA rep we used to meet in Bar Social on Lavender Hill for cut priced cocktails then cross the road to Mien Tay which is a fab Vietnamese restaurant. The evenings were always a great success - not too expensive and everyone had a great time.

The bar at the lovely Battersea Arts Centre is very big & usually quite empty (except for at interval time when there is a show on).  They often do snacky food also.

Not sure if you'll get what you want especially given you could be meeting on a Thursday! The Plough up the hill from the station is a big venue that might give you the space you need. I'd also suggest the Roundhouse but with there in particular, you'd be better off around the back of the bar, where you might better be able to hear each other if it's a busy night. Anywhere else in there you're almost on top of the bar.

Failing that, perhaps somewhere down the far end of Northcote Road might be better.

So my NCT moms and I are hopefully going to be meeting up near Clapham Junction station (it's now the best spot for all as some of us have moved out of London!)

Can anyone recommend a nice place to meet for weekday (probably Thursday) evening drinks, possibly with food/nibbles but the main thing is, a place that is quiet enough that you can hear each other talk?

thanks in advance,
