About this space
At the core of this venue is the Great Hall, a breath-taking and adaptable blank canvas space that can be tailored to suit any brand or theme. Boasting a mezzanine balcony and the option for exclusive bar hire, this versatile venue is perfect for large-scale events like award dinners, high-profile press events, and fashion shows—most recently, Kiko Kostadinov, Bora Aksu, and Keburia during London Fashion Week.
Alternatively, the contemporary space—with its soaring ceilings and ample natural light (with blackout blinds available)—can be kept minimalist for upscale conferences, film screenings, AGMs, or wine tastings.
The mezzanine balcony provides a unique vantage point of the Great Hall below, offering guests a preview of the event. It's an ideal location for a reception area leading into the ground-floor bar or as a breakout space for conferences.
Fully air-conditioned, the space includes a 3-phase power supply, a hanging rail system for exhibitions, and an integrated AV system.

This venue is amazing! It has lots of natural sunlight, high ceilings, and feels very bright and welcoming. It's truly a special place in London.
The service was wonderful. Kay always answered emails quickly and was very helpful.
John, the caretaker, went above and beyond to help us set up and clean afterward. He made everything easy.
The security guard was friendly and welcoming, which made our guests feel comfortable and happy.
The catering company was also excellent. The food tasted great, and they helped us with both setup and cleanup.
I would definitely recommend this venue and would love to book it again!
everything was perfect!
