Test Bed at The Doodle Bar
About this space
This venue is spread across a series of connected railway arches and offers a large open-plan setup suited to film and TV shoots, photography, brand events, music videos, and larger gatherings.
The main space can be used for productions, staging, dining, or guest areas, with a separate bar room, kitchen, and bathroom facilities included on site. Its private entrance and self-contained layout also make access, setup, and event management more practical for longer bookings.
The space keeps its original industrial character, with exposed brickwork and vaulted arch ceilings that give it a strong warehouse-style look with a distinct London feel.
