Practical answers

Practical answers teams usually need

These answers mirror the operational details already confirmed elsewhere on the site, but presented here in a compact, citation-friendly format.

What is included in the hire rate?

Hire from £120/hour covers the full 250 m² loft, private terrace, smart lighting, furniture, kitchen, climate control, 1 Gbps Wi-Fi, the 85" 4K screen, and ceiling audio. Production equipment, on-site crew, and catering are quoted as add-ons.

What is the maximum capacity for events?

Up to 30 guests. We confirm seated or standing layouts against your brief so service and guest flow stay comfortable. Productions can run with around 30 people on site, depending on the setup.

Does the space include a kitchen?

The penthouse kitchen is fully fitted — oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, generous prep surfaces. Use it for catering prep, team lunches, or service during an event.

Is the venue accessible for guests with mobility requirements?

A lift runs to the fifth floor. There is a small threshold at the main entrance and at the terrace door, so the space is not entirely step-free. If you have specific mobility requirements, get in touch before booking and we'll confirm current access details.
