Work Events
Kindred, Hammersmith
Set inside a restored Georgian mansion just moments from Hammersmith station, Kindred offers a more relaxed take on the traditional members' club. Its colourful interiors, original period features, cosy lounges add to the vibe, and the leafy courtyard that comes into its own during the warmer months. Multiple private rooms can be hired individually or together, making it ideal for everything from birthday parties and engagement celebrations to workshops, launches and team socials. The food and drink offering is equally strong, with seasonal menus and cocktails that feel restaurant quality rather than standard event fare.

A Blank Canvas
Autumn Yard, Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick has no shortage of creative venues but Autumn Yard feels particularly fresh. Attached to beloved restaurant Morro, the space is designed as a blank canvas – the contemporary warehouse space mixes industrial architecture with warm, minimalist interiors and plenty of natural light. It regularly hosts fashion events, creative launches and private celebrations but it's equally well suited to weddings, anniversary parties and large birthday gatherings. The experienced events team can help transform the space to suit almost any brief, while the surrounding canals, breweries and bars make it easy for celebrations to continue long after the official event has finished.

Morning Gatherings
B&H Buildings, Clerkenwell
Hidden away in Clerkenwell, B&H Buildings is a characterful multi-level events space with a distinctly botanical feel. Inspired by the faded grandeur of a stately home, the venue combines trailing plants, rich fabrics, unusual textures and plenty of natural light across its seven different spaces, including a bar, restaurant, club room and studio. From business brunches (the morning light is particularly impressive) and milestone birthdays to product launches and client dinners, it’s adaptable to almost any occasion. The Bar works well for drinks receptions, while the wider building can be hired for larger celebrations, with space for up to 350 standing guests.
