This was the perfect venue for my 40th birthday party recently, in terms of location, facilities and service level. Thank you to the Mala Madre team for your efficiency, care and attention both in the lead up to, and during my event. Myself and my guests had a wonderful time.

Pop-up spaces are basically venues for temporary events, so you have a lot of options! One of the most common types are pop-up shops, which are great for raising awareness of your brand. You can also host pop-up exhibitions to display your art, photography, or crafts. Workshops are another great type of pop-up event, but that’s not all! If you are a chef, barista, or bartender wishing to show off your skills, you might want to set up a temporary restaurant or bar. Finally, pop-up spaces can also be brilliant for music festivals.

Verified Reviews of Pop Up Event Spaces in London
An amazing venue as it feels off the beaten track and not like you're in central London. I dealt with Emily there and nothing was too much of a problem. She was quick to respond and on the day of my event she made sure everything was done so I didn't have to worry and could just enjoy myself. She offered me lots of options when I asked for things. The staff are very friendly and the good is delicious. Would highly recommend. Thank you again for making my birthday so special :)
We held a company team day on the boat and had a lovely time. The boat is in an excellent location and the view is absolutely stunning. The facilities were clean and Jeremy provided a tour upon arrival which was very thorough and showed us where everything was, and explained the house keeping rules. The down side is that the cleaners were still there when we arrived and were walking through the living room whilst we were mid-presentation but other than this is was the perfect day.
Great little place with amazing food in Hoxton / Old Street so very easy to get to. The space is small but perfect for a group of 10 to 15 people and the rooftop is covered so works even if there's rain. Matthew was a great host and provided all we needed for the booking whilst preparing drinks the whole time. The food is outstanding, imaginative and well presented but also just delicious.
I had no issues with the venue, from security to the bar staff. Security was perlite, bar staff went beyond the call of duty to ensure the VIPs were taken care of. Mac is a good manager and host. The screen and sound tech were very helpful. We had a lovely morning.
The venue is slightly smaller than what the pictures show, however it is the perfect space for a private event. The staff were very accomodating and it is in such a brilliant location with great menu choices Great value for money and would 100% recommend!!
Friendly staff Good range / quality of drinks Happy hour for start of event Easy to take own music Hassle free to organise before event Can order own food in if you want
Overall great experience working with Michael and Matthew - super flexible and accommodating with our concept and vision. They trusted us to get on with our event without any interfering, but were always on hand to help with any questions or come down to show us the ropes. I would 100% work with them again!
