In urban Hackney, a pool of hip hangouts for arty and creative types has been bubbling away for years. Collent Street, a largely residential road, is home to this attractive gallery space - not far from Hackney Central station. It sits next to The Refinery, a popular yoga and health studios.
The building has an inviting entrance, and the space has one main, ground floor room laid out in an unusual pentagon shape. With polished floors and clean white walls, it’ll be easy to get your idea up and running here right away. At the back a wall slides open to reveal a small kitchen and storage area, plus worktop space and a disabled toilet. A sound system, apple TV and projector are also available.
Hackney Central is 12 minutes’ walk away, which is a lively hangout and intersection of shops, bars and eateries. However Collent Street is quite quiet so think about how best to PR your venue.
The street is quiet but surrounded by a creative community, so consider how to draw your audience in.
