A private event venue with terrace access, lighting control, and guest flow designed into the space.
A fifth-floor penthouse with terrace access, smart lighting, and a catering-ready kitchen for private dinners, launches, and guest-facing events that need atmosphere as much as logistics.
- Capacity for up to 30 guests with terrace spillover
- Smart lighting set to your brand colours
- Private terrace with skyline views for drinks receptions
The penthouse sits on the fifth floor of a converted factory in Old Street. 360° terrace access wraps the room in skyline. Smart lighting runs 256 RGB presets, so you can set the floor to your brand colours, slide from daylight warmth into evening atmosphere, or move through moods as the programme changes. 3.5 m ceilings give the room a sense of destination that lower-ceilinged venues simply cannot match.
This is not a hotel ballroom. Arrival feels private. No fluorescent corridor between the lift and the room. Guests come through the building entrance, take the lift up, and step straight into the event. The experience begins at the door.
Why this space works for Events
The goods lift takes everything an event build needs, from staging and floristry to AV, catering supplies, and furniture. Add early access from 7 am for complex set-builds. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, and prep surfaces, so it carries professional catering service, not just reheating.
The terrace makes a drinks reception. 35 m² of private outdoor space, unobstructed across the London skyline. Modular outdoor furniture is included. Wide openings connect terrace to main floor, so guests flow between inside and outside without bottlenecks. At golden hour, the terrace is the room.
Practical information
Capacity: up to 30 guests. Seated layouts are signed off against the brief. Standing events use the terrace for natural spillover without crowding the floor.
Standard hire runs until 10 pm. Keep music and amplified sound considerate after that, since residential units sit above the penthouse floor. Late checkout is £120 per hour for events that need extra pack-down or wrap time. The building stays accessible.
Caterers, AV suppliers, florists, and event production teams come in via the goods lift from ground level. The service entrance is separate from the guest route. Deliveries can land from the morning of the event. Every confirmed booking receives a logistics brief covering access, timings, and supplier protocol.

Frequently asked questions
Use any caterer you like. The kitchen is built for professional food prep and service: oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, prep surfaces, tableware. Add the catering liaison and our on-site coordinator manages delivery schedules and kitchen access for you.
Eight ceiling speakers run from a dedicated mixing desk with independent zone control. A Bose S1 Pro portable speaker and Shure SM58 microphone come included. The system carries background music, DJ sets at a moderate level, speeches, and presentations. For higher-output PA, you're welcome to bring in an external system.
Standard hire ends at 10 pm. Late checkout runs at £120 per hour, subject to availability. Drop the music after 10 pm, since residential units sit on the higher floors. The building itself stays accessible for pack-down and departures.
Bring flowers, signage, banners, table settings, branded materials, and temporary installations. The brick walls, concrete columns, and steel beams are structural, so no drilling and no permanent modification. Adhesive fixings and freestanding structures sit well in the space. We share a decor brief at booking to spell out what works and what doesn't.
The terrace is open-air, unheated, and sheltered on two sides by the building structure. For cooler evenings, our on-site coordinator arranges blanket service and portable heater hire. Spring, summer, and early autumn are when guests most want to be out there.
Add the Presentation & Workshop Pack and you get a Bose S1 Pro portable speaker, Shure SM58 vocal microphone, and a reading desk, plus RGB LED panels for branded accent lighting. The venue's 8-zone ceiling speaker system is already included with your hire.
