The Sorting Depot at Cahoots Postal Office

About this space

The Sorting Depot is a semi-private Lounge in Cahoots Postal Office defined by an immersive 1940s postal-theme décor that frames a compact, social seating area.

Design: Dark timber ceilings and exposed brick walls sit under low amber pendant lighting to create a low-lit, intimate lounge. Booth seating, mismatched wooden tables and patterned upholstery form a tightly arranged layout with layered textures and vintage signage.

Features: A PA system and speakers provide sound for announcements or playlists. A mix of fixed booths and movable tables allows adaptable seating for standing or seated gatherings. Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair access, a step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets support comfort and accessibility.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception centred on drinks and conversation.

What sets it apart: The space includes an operational pneumatic 'air mail' tube that can deliver cocktails directly to the room as part of the venue's theatrical service.

What guests say: The space is supported by in-character hosting that begins at arrival and adds a theatrical element to the visit. The space's detailed period props and decor create a playful, immersive experience.
