Private space

About this space

The space is a 32 square metre or 350 square feet room. It's quiet and private with an excellent upright piano (£1 extra per hour), a long mirror on one wall, lots of light (all artificial), wifi and many chairs and tables. NB there is no natural light and the ceiling is low, 7ft, so it has its limitations.

About The Calder Theatre Bookshop

We are very central, a 2 minute walk from Waterloo station. It's not glamorous like some other places but in comparison it's inexpensive. So it's cheap and it's central, also we just charge one flat rate whether you want the theatre space or the basement, there's no sliding scale, it's all transparent. And you can book for just one hour if you want, there's no minimum.
We have a 72 hours cancellation policy.

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