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.

Let me know if you'd like an introduction to the founder./ manager.
Alternatively, you might ask one of the tech co.s in London (Google,
Microsoft) to sponsor-in-kind by prviding a room.
