About the space
Beneath one of London’s most iconic cultural landmarks lies a venue that rewrites the rules of event hosting. This underground space – once veiled from the public eye – is a raw and atmospheric masterpiece tucked beneath a Neoclassical courtyard. Defined by its exposed brickwork, barrel-vaulted ceilings and dramatic up-lighting, the venue channels a distinct industrial Gothic style. The architecture embraces the bones of its 18th-century origins, with tunnels and passageways creating a moody and cinematic backdrop rarely found in the city.
This venue offers a striking blend of historic grit and contemporary edge. One area hugs three sides of the courtyard, boasting aged textures and atmospheric lighting, while the other area, with eerie memorials set into the walls, adds a sense of intrigue and storytelling. These spaces come alive at night, ideal for avant-garde product launches, immersive brand activations, or unconventional dinners with wow-factor. The layout provides natural flow for receptions or progressive events that unfold across connected zones.
Step into a realm of mystery and elevate your next event in a venue your guests won’t forget.
