About this space

The Ditch is a Basement in Shoreditch Town Hall, a long subterranean corridor-style space.

Design: The Ditch has low ceilings, exposed pipework and peeling plaster that give it an industrial, service-area appearance. The plan is narrow and linear, lit by muted artificial fittings and finished with hard-surface floors.

Features: The space includes onsite Wi‑Fi, a PA system and speakers, and permits organisers to play their own music. The space is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Small, informal creative groups seeking a gritty, functional basement setting for standing, social or participatory activity.

What sets it apart: A surviving strip of original Art Deco tiling is visible through an internal window, giving the space a period detail uncommon in basement rooms.

What guests say: The space's facilities, lighting and support staff are well organised and suited to evening functions.
