26 Leake Street for Christmas parties, launches and film shoots
Entrances run through the renowned graffiti tunnels into a restored, multi-arch event space of 11,000 sq ft in Waterloo, SE1.
Arches, the Rat Bar and the Addington
Three distinct event spaces connect, each with its own ambience. Arch 1 and Arch 2 together receive 1150 standing guests, the Rat Bar takes 200 and The Addington adds a third room. Interconnected access lets hosts customise how the spaces flow, and guests arrive through the graffiti tunnels, which gives festive parties in restored arches an entrance to talk about, with Christmas groups settling into any of the three event spaces.
Fashion shows, film shoots and flexible layouts
Product launches, fashion shows and film shoots all work across 11,000 sq ft of open layout, so flexible launch layouts can be staged on a scale to match the guest list.
Dress the space your way
Because the venue is a versatile canvas, hosts can dress the space their own way for any occasion, with multiple entrances and interconnected access to shape the flow of the event.
