About this space

Hidden beneath the Ticket Hall sits the Southbound Platform – an out-of-bounds private space in the station’s epicentre. Enter Soho’s new worst kept secret to find an industrial maze of switches, dials and flashing lights in the depths of the underground. Perfect for small subterranean shindigs or late-night raucous parties, descend the ‘out-of-bounds’ staircase and enjoy bootlegged hooch amongst switchboards, spinning cogs, voltage gauges and danger-marked levers.

From 25-70 guests
