FAQs about Top Blank Canvas Venues in London
Blank canvas venues in London can be hired by the hour, with the average price ranging between £14 to £50. A daily hire starts at £100 and can go up to £600. Remember that the prices may vary depending on the duration and the day and the time of the hire, as well as the equipment available at the venue. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Depending on the type of venue you’re hiring, there will be different equipment available. Many blank canvas venues are studios, and may come with lighting equipment, backdrops and light stands. Some venues will also offer sound systems, A/V equipment and WiFi. If you need any particular equipment to be available for your event, make sure to reach out to the venue manager to ask about the details before you make your final booking.

Your Guide to Hiring Blank Canvas Venues in London
Blank canvas venues give you free rein to bring your event to life. So what are you waiting for? One of London’s best blank canvas venues is only a couple of clicks away!
What is a Blank Canvas Venue?
A blank canvas venue is an adaptable space that you can fully customise. No fixed layouts, no pre-set themes—just four walls ready for you to transform. Perfect for DIY event planning and anyone looking for complete creative control. The beauty of such spaces lies in their versatility, whether you're hosting a wedding, corporate event, or a lively party, the possibilities are endless.
On the lookout for a New York-style loft, creative studio space or the perfect place to pitch a marquee? Our friendly team is happy to give personalised venue recommendations, whether you’re after a chic gallery space for a corporate drinks reception, outdoor party venue for the perfect pop-up dinner or a refurbished railway arch for a product launch that really packs a punch.
Can I Fully Customise a Blank Canvas Venue?
Yes—customisation is the whole point. But check the fine print. Some venues have preferred vendors, mandatory security or cleaning fees, or corkage charges if you’re bringing your own drinks. Here’s how to stay in control:
- Catering: Confirm if you can bring your own or if you're tied to in-house options.
- Licences: Want to serve alcohol or play live music? Make sure the venue has the right licences.
- Access: Some venues allow early set-up and late pack-down—others don’t. Always clarify.
Are Blank Canvas Venues Suitable for Weddings?
Absolutely. These spaces are perfect if you want a wedding that feels personal, not packaged. Popular picks include loft venues in East London for urban-chic ceremonies and converted warehouses in Peckham for bold, artsy receptions. Many are pet-friendly, allow external catering, and have BYOB policies (with or without corkage fees). Just make sure you have a solid setup team on the day.
Practical Tips & Local Hacks
Before You Book:
- Visit in person to assess soundproofing, acoustics, lighting, and heating/cooling—especially important in older buildings.
- Map out transport options for guests. London’s blank canvas venues can be hidden down alleys or in ex-industrial zones, so proximity to a Tube or overground station matters. Bonus if there’s parking or step-free access.
During Planning:
- Create zones in large open spaces using furniture, lighting, and rugs.
- For outdoor areas, have a weather backup plan and consider extra lighting for evening events.
- Use textured decor (think greenery walls, vintage furniture, layered lighting) to warm up minimal spaces.
- Book local vendors who’ve worked in your venue before—they’ll know the quirks.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Underestimating set-up time (some venues allow access 24-48 hours before—book it!).
- Forgetting about storage or back-of-house space for caterers, gear, etc.
- Ignoring sound and acoustics—warehouse venues can echo without the right treatment.
