Really great venue with some wonderful art to set the scene. For my number of guests, it worked perfectly - the main room was set up with chairs and a screen for presentations, leaving the side room to be used as a bar area. Pavel was excellent to work with. We’ll definitely be back!
I appreciate that the artworks are of great value, but the staff could be a little more friendly when asking guests to avoid accidentally touching them!

October Gallery is a striking venue in central London with three outstanding spaces for hire:

Perfect for parties, book launches, workshops, meetings, music recitals, theatre performances and more.

Unique in their charm, all spaces benefit from natural light, fully integrated AV facilities and conserved period features of this 19th century Grade II listed building, steeped in history.

Based in the heart of Bloomsbury, the Gallery is served by excellent public transport connections, just a few minutes’ walk from Holborn and Russell Square London Underground Stations.

Founded in 1979, Gallery has been instrumental in bringing to worldwide attention many of the world’s leading international artists, including El Anatsui, Rachid Koraïchi, and Romuald Hazoumè.

The Gallery promotes the Transvangarde, the very best in contemporary art from around the planet, as well as maintaining a cultural hub in central London for poets, writers, intellectuals and artists, and hosts talks, performances and seminars.
