I don't think Geovation are at 1 Seckford Street anymore (Future Cities Catapult have taken over IIRC), which is a shame as Seckford Street is a really nice venue. It' still available for events, but I suspect with substantial costs. I don't think Geovation have moved very far away.
I suspect Andy is right & tech spaces are the best bet. There may be a few churches/community centres in Central London who regularly rent rooms at (for London) modest prices: for instance, Westminster Friends Meeting House, but availability for a Saturday is likely t constrained. Many of these places now pretty much fund themselves by using heavily promoting their facilities for commercial events (Friends House on Euston Road charges around £500 for a room on a Saturday). Universities are another possibility but, even with a staff member as advocate, societies I've been involved in have found the bureaucracy involved far too unwieldy. Places like UCL which were relatively lax have had to tighten up a lot after it was found an (honorary) academic was hosting eugenics advocacy events.
