About this space

The Alongside Six Barge is a compact movement studio in a single, long room. The layout is linear and set up for movement and rehearsal work.

Design: minimalist interior with a white curved ceiling, warm timber floor, round porthole windows, and long proportions that carry natural light through the space.

Features: a full-length mirrored wall and timber floor for Pilates, yoga, and light dance. A PA system and speakers are provided. Own music or a hired DJ is permitted, subject to noise restrictions. Wi-Fi and air conditioning are available.

The space works for small exercise groups and social meet-ups.

The venue is a converted barge moored on the water.

Guest feedback: the venue is clean and well maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere and community feel.
