Very nice looking theatre (good for an event for maximum 70 people I think), very helpful and friendly staff that followed us in everything. Venue has an inner courtyard that is perfect for smoking guests.

The theatre is accessible via stairs only. Disabled people have to be kept out. The piano is a fascinating Bechstein. Well kept but old. Could be a positive if you want to give an "historical reconstruction" feel (and it worked very well for our pianist programme), but far from a concert hall standard.

Optimal!


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.
