About Black Seed
Just two minutes from Brixton Station and four from the Underground, The First Floor is a light-filled sanctuary tucked above the vibrant hum of Brixton Village. Central and quietly elegant.
Set across 2,400 square feet, the space is a blank canvas with soul. Whitewashed walls, skylight ceilings, and lush greenery offer a soft backdrop for whatever story you’re trying to tell. Whether you’re hosting an office away day or a candlelit supper club, an art exhibition or a listening party, The First Floor adapts to your vision without losing its character.
The layout flows, encouraging movement between moments. There’s space to break out, dine in, or showcase something bold. It’s equally suited to intimate gatherings and brand activations. Pop ups. Private dinners. Showcases. Workshops. We’ve hosted them all and the space has held each beautifully.
You’re surrounded by some of London’s most loved local gems. Bars, restaurants, and record shops are steps away. Planning becomes easier and the experience extends beyond your walls.
The First Floor comes with access to a trusted network of creatives including bar staff, stylists, DJs and sketch artists. We also offer a menu of curated add ons for those who want full service without lifting a finger.
It’s premium but personal. Flexible but curated. And always, unmistakably Brixton.
