About this space

Art Gallery by day, cocktail bar by night.

By day, we’re an art gallery showcasing some of London’s best contemporary artists. But as evening falls, our space transforms. We dim the lights, bring in the warmth, roll out the bar, and turn up the music. The serious white cube shifts to an intimate, vibrant setting. A lively, art-infused atmosphere where you can relax with a cocktail among some of London’s most talented artists. Perfect for a celebration with a creative twist.

Our main space is a beautiful, high ceiling big windowed space. In the evenings we have a fully catered bar, tables and chairs available if required and shutters for privacy.

Hired Twilight Contemporary for my 30th and had the best night! Everything was perfect - such a beautiful venue, delicious drinks and Sam was such a legend from my first message to the end of the event. All the guests loved it - wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
