About this space

The Basement - Studio 1 + 2 is a Basement in UNLOCKED SHOREDITCH and a raw blackbox studio defined by an open, column-free floor and exposed industrial ceiling.

Design: The interior uses dark, industrial finishes — black-painted walls, exposed steel beams and visible trusses — producing a low-lit, club-style appearance. The room is broadly rectangular with a smooth concrete floor and prominent overhead rigging that reads as part of the architecture.

Features: The room includes a professional PA system and speaker setup and permits own music and external DJs. The space provides a clear dance floor, air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi, plus step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets. The technical infrastructure supports stage lighting and rigging and the layout can be arranged for standing or seated configurations.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an energetic, music-focused standing reception or club-style set that requires flexible staging and technical support.

What sets it apart: A continuous raised runway and tiered viewing platforms run along one side of the floor, supplying elevated sightlines and configurable positions for performers or presentation.

What guests say: The room is praised for friendly, helpful staff and efficient on-site operations, including quick cloakroom and bar movement. The space is also described as suitable for immersive lighting installations that engage both children and adults in daytime or evening events.
