The Studio at Alongside Six Barge Studio
About this space
The Main Room is the heart of Alongside Six, set aboard a restored 1930s Dutch barge on Regent's Canal.
Natural light fills the space from three sides through large windows and original circular portholes, with views of the canal and surrounding greenery. As the day goes on, the light shifts across the wooden floors and domed ceiling, creating a bright and inviting setting.
The room features warm wooden floors, curved ceilings, rich timber panelling, café curtains, a wall of mirrors, and a wooden vinyl player with built-in Bluetooth speakers. It is suitable for Pilates, yoga, sound baths, photoshoots, meetings, private dining, and celebrations.
Capacity: Up to 13 mats for movement classes, 15–20 guests for stationary wellness sessions, or 30–40 seated guests.
Included equipment: 15 premium black exercise mats and 10 grey mats, 2 kg and 1 kg dumbbells, 0.5 kg ankle weights, 13 Pilates weights, rings, balls, yoga straps and resistance bands, 30 yoga blocks, 4 trestle tables, and 16 wooden stools.
Additional: Infrared heating panels are available for an additional charge for hot classes. An air conditioning/heating unit is included.
