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.

About The Social

The Social opened in the summer of 1999. A two floor bar right at the heart of London evolved out of the legendary Heavenly Sunday Social club nights that ran in various venues between ’94 and ’99. Rather than act as a bricks and mortar extension of those nights, the Social quickly developed a reputation as a free-thinking, boundary pushing destination for open minded drinkers, keen listeners and late night thinkers.

The Social is a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus.

The Social is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.
