About this space

A dramatic double-height studio with 5-metre ceilings, professional aerial rigging and the raw architectural character of Waking Dreams’ 1950s brutalist building.

The height and scale of the space make it an impressive setting for photography and filming, brand activations, product launches, workshops, rehearsals, performances and creative events, as well as aerial and movement-based hires.

The studio is fully equipped for aerial practice, with professional rigging points and crash mats available. For non-aerial hires, equipment can be cleared to create a flexible open floor and a striking blank canvas for your own production or event.

As part of Waking Dreams Bethnal Green, hirers can also combine the Aerial Studio with our other spaces, including the Movement Studio, treatment room, reception and outdoor sauna and cold plunge area. The entire building is also available for exclusive hire.

Just five minutes from Bethnal Green Underground and Overground, the studio offers an unusual combination of scale, character and accessibility in the heart of East London.

Ideal for: photo and film shoots, fashion and editorial, brand activations, product launches, workshops, rehearsals, performances, castings, content creation, fitness and wellness events, aerial and movement.
