About this space

The Designer's Penthouse is a whole penthouse that reads like a private residential apartment, defined by calm, designer interiors and a compact, domestic layout.

Design: The interior pairs mid-century-style seating and simple timber flooring with a neutral painted backdrop, potted plants and a full-height mirror to create tidy, low-contrast sightlines across an open living area.

Features: The venue includes high-speed Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, an open-plan layout that receives plenty of natural daylight, and a clear noise-restriction policy to observe during hire.

Ideal for: Small creative teams and private groups seeking a relaxed, social setting suited to seated meals or informal standing receptions.

What sets it apart: An integrated PA system is provided and the venue permits external DJs to run their own music, allowing a controlled DJ-led sound setup.

The space was very clean & beautiful, also perfect to work in thank you!

The lift was broken and guests were asked to were slippers as to not wake the person who lives below. Would have preferred a pre-warning as we had a pregnant person joining and also this was a work meeting so changing out of shoes feels inappropriate for a professional environment.

Excellent and fast communication from the venue managers. They were very helpful with requests and everything on the day ran very smoothly. The venue itself is very welcoming and is a great space for a company offsite, it felt very relaxed and was perfect for what we needed. Would definitely keep in mind for any future bookings.

Only negative is the lift in the building was out of service (which I was told about prior to booking) so not unexpected, but was difficult when getting deliveries in. However this of course is not a fault of the venue itself.

Great space, lovely enviroment for a SLT Off-Site

Access was a little complex, 2 gates you have to buzz through and 5 flights of stairs. Not an issue but if people are in and out throughout the day you need to be aware.

FAQ

Yes, clients are welcome to bring their own music.

Yes, the large screen is included in the hire and comes with HDMI and a Mac adapter ready for use.

Yes, clients are welcome to manage the setup in a way that suits the event. The venue needs to know in advance how many chairs are required and how many guests should be seated at the table so everything can be prepared.

The flat is on the fifth floor and away from the main road, so it is pretty quiet. The venue regularly hosts video shoots and has never had an issue.

Yes. For now, guests would need to use the stairs to reach the flat on the 5th floor, so it would not be suitable for wheelchair access.
