About this space

The Main Venue is a theatre-style space in The Saw Swee Hock Centre that has a flat, adaptable performance area arranged for either seated presentations or open-floor activity.

Design: The room has a high, clear rectangular volume, acoustic panelling on the walls and an exposed concrete floor that give it a practical, industrial character. The visual palette is neutral and functional, with dark curtains at the performance end.

Features: The space contains a permanent raised performance end, a large projection screen and an in-house PA and speaker system. The room is equipped with rows of folding chairs that can be reconfigured and a clear flat floor for standing or dancing. The space includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, step-free access and accessible toilets, and it permits hosts to bring their own music or a DJ.

Ideal for: Groups needing a compact, performance-ready room that can switch between seated presentations and lively standing or participatory gatherings.

What sets it apart: A ceiling-mounted disco ball provides an immediate dance-ready focal point.

What guests say: The space can feel compact and enclosed during events. The space sits within a building that receives praise for its architecture.

We had a wonderful event at The Saw Swee Hock. It was easy to communicate and we received answers quickly. Communication was definitely high above average compared to other venues in London that we booked for similar events previously. When we arrived at the site we were met by three people that checked if everything was in place as we had imagined/ wished. They were also available during our event. So e.g when we needed more water or coffee that was fixed immediately. AV in the venue is extraordinary! Plug and play worked perfectly even though we had several presentations and everyone used their own device. AV support was on-site during the whole event. The sound system is really (!!!) good.
