Plus, it has two TVs and an aux/bluetooth connectable sound system so you can listen to your carefully curated party playlists (or even hook up a DJ!).

Our party reviews
Absolutely. Our party packages are here to take the faff out of feeding and watering the whole gang. From crowd-pleasing food and sharers to drinks packages that keep the good stuff flowing, we’ll help you build something that suits your numbers, your occasion and your kind of party. Big birthday, work do, family get-together or a good old-fashioned knees-up – tell us what you’re planning and our team will take it from there.
Oh yes. Our beer garden in Tooting is a proper year-round favourite. In summer, it’s a glorious little sun trap made for long lunches, cold pints and spritzes in the sunshine. When winter rolls around, we don’t pack it all away — the garden is covered and heated, so you can still gather the gang, get cosy and make an afternoon of it. Rain, shine or classic British somewhere-in-between, the Traf garden is always a good idea.
Yes – and it’s all yours. Book Smith’s Bar at The Trafalgar Arms in Tooting and you’ll have your very own private bar, so no disappearing off mid-conversation when it’s your round. Going bigger? Book Smith’s Bar and the Cannon Room together for more space, your own bar and one seriously good party set-up. Birthdays, work dos, celebrations or just a very good excuse to get everyone together – we’ve got the space (and the drinks) covered.
Very. The Trafalgar Arms in Tooting is brilliantly connected, making it an easy meeting point whether you’re coming from Wimbledon, Wandsworth, Earlsfield or further into London. We’re close to the Northern line, so getting the whole gang here is easy – getting them to call it a night might be another story.
