About this space

The main room runs the length of the venue: a row of marble-topped tables with blue velvet banquette seating down one side, paired with chairs opposite, plus a set of enclosed booths along the far wall for smaller groups. The bar sits at the back of the room and stays in use.

Exposed brick, ink-blue walls, low pendant lighting, and a built-in sound system make it suited to seated dinners, drinks receptions, parties and listening or supper-club style events.

At a glance:

- Full venue hire (one connected room, ground floor)
- Seated and standing layouts both work
- Dedicated bar in the room
- Step-free access to the main floor
