About this space

The Basement is ready for live shows, club nights, launches and events for 150 people. Full live PA, lighting, backline and DJ set up in house. Originally the venue was designed by renowned architects David Adjaye and Will Russell and still displays the features in the ground floor bar, downstairs is a newly redesigned event space that’s just as likely to host frenetic live shows as literary events, packed out DJ gigs, private parties and corporate events.
