London Docklands is the riverfront and former docks, located in the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Newham and Greenwich. The docks were once part of the Port of London, which at one time was the world's largest port. After the docks closed, the area had become derelict and poverty-ridden by the 1980s. In the late 1980s extensive regeneration began to convert the area into commercial and residential use. The area is now a major business centre, with Canary Wharf emerging as one of Europe's biggest clusters of skyscrapers and a major extension to the financial services district of London.
We're proud to deliver event hire to venues throughout the Docklands area. Some of the items we can deliver includes:
Docklands Mobile Bar Hire
Getting the right kind of bar furniture for hire is a large factor in creating the right setup for a temporary bar space. Depending on the venue for the temporary bar, it can mean anything from hiring tables and chairs to the bar itself. Luckily, we can help.
LED furniture is one of the most in vogue styles of furniture for temporary bar spaces, thanks to the colour it can instantly bring to a room. As well as the benches, cubes and seats you'd expect from any LED furniture hire range, we also offer LED bar sections. These come in both straight and corner sections to help build a bar per the space provided in the room and offers something a little bit extra than a simple table or counter.
It's not uncommon to see temporary bar spaces set up in larger areas, especially for big events and for these kinds of events our folding beer bench and table sets are perfect. They're designed specifically for use outside and are perfect for large groups to sit around with some tasty pints of beer.
Docklands Furniture Rental
Chair hire might seem a simple thing to sort out but the truth is there is no such thing as a “simple chair for hire”. We rent chairs to events, functions and companies across North London and Middlesex in all kinds of scenarios.
Take conferences as an example. A conference can be a really important event for the organiser to get right, so the chairs that delegates sit in need to be perfect. Our conference chairs for hire are not only stackable and durable, but also comfy – something that guests will appreciate when they’re using them all day.
Another kind of event where guests will need comfortable chairs are weddings. Wedding receptions can be long affairs that go on into the night so having the right kind of wedding chair hire is essential. We have lots of different styles at a price which is right to help you meet your budget.
Outdoor events can be the hardest of all to deal with. Outdoor chairs for hire need to not only be comfortable but able to handle London weather. Our samsonite folding chairs are great for large events needing hundreds of chairs while more intimate affairs can benefit from our aluminium and rattan ranges.
Docklands Kitchen Hire
Setting up any kind of kitchen requires some careful choices to make sure equipment is not only right for the food to be cooked but also for the setting it is being used in. Oven hire is one of the bigger components of any kitchen and getting that wrong can be an expensive mistake.
At Expo Hire London we offer the choice of both LPG and electric ovens for hire; each of which are designed for different usage. Electric ovens for hire are for indoor areas where they can be used to bake, roast and grill food easily. However, because electric ovens need lots of power to run they cannot be used outdoors. The wattage required by electric ovens can easily trip temporary power supplies such as generators and extension leads. The portability of LPG bottles make LPG ovens the perfect choice for usage outside; even an oven with powerful burners like our six burner oven can happily run off an LPG bottle. However, LPG ovens are not designed to be used indoors due to the potential lack of ventilation of exhaust fumes.
Offering high quality stock has always been something that we pride ourselves upon and because of this we frequently replace our ovens with new ones. This is particularly important with ovens which are often the main workhorse of a kitchen and allows our customers to order from us with peace of mind.
Docklands Linen Hire
Colour can be an important theme to get right for events, and one of the easiest ways to achieve it is via linen hire. Many event organisers rent linen for events like wedding receptions and banquets to make sure furniture matches the rest of the event, but linen isn’t just for those events.
With linen for hire available in many colours, shapes and sizes we can help you cover your furniture for any event you might be holding. We understand that hiring linen can be difficult especially for first time hirers but we have done everything we can to help ensure a smooth process.
Our linen hire product pages have details in their respective descriptions to confirm what size tables they fit. We have also added recommendations for linen hire to our table hire pages to help ensure that customers can hire them together without worry about if they have the sizing correct.
No Security Deposit required
Damage deposits are not a worry when ordering event hire from Expo Hire London. Instead, we run a free minor damage waiver scheme to cover minor damage or loss, so you don’t need to worry if you break the odd glass or plate. We do charge for excessive or negligent loss or damage at 10x the hire price. Please check our terms and conditions for full details.
