The First Floor at Black Seed
About this space
The First Floor – Bright Brixton Loft for Parties, Dinners and Brand Events
Just two minutes from Brixton Station, The First Floor is a 2,400 square foot light-filled event loft above Brixton Village. It is ideal for birthday parties, private dinners, supper clubs, brand activations, workshops, photo shoots and listening sessions.
The main lounge is airy, plant-framed and flooded with natural skylight. A calm, creative canvas that transforms beautifully for every occasion. Whether you are hosting a candlelit dinner, a corporate away day or an intimate celebration, the space adapts easily while keeping its character.
Guests can move freely between the lounge, breakout zones and kitchenette. There is plenty of room to dine, dance or display. We can connect you with trusted local creatives including bar staff, DJs, stylists and florists, or you can bring your own team.
