The Vinyl Factory
The Vinyl Factory event space is located in Soho, London W1 and covers approximately 6,000 sq ft.
The main gallery space is 4,500 sq ft in size, with white walls and pillars and a painted concrete floor and can hold up to 260 people. In it’s earlier life it was a workshop for cars and as such has some very unusual features. Natural lighting comes through glass pavement blocks which cover approximately a quarter of the ceiling.
The rear studio which is a brick-walled room is 1500 sq ft and holds up to 110 if hired on it’s own. The venue also has two entrances – Phonica, 51 Poland Street and The Courtyard, 16-18 Marshall Street.
The Vinyl Factory is suitable for exhibitions, presentations, trade and fashion shows, press days, launch parties and much more.

The Vinyl Factory for exhibitions, fashion shows and launch parties
A former car workshop in Soho, The Vinyl Factory has glass pavement blocks covering about a quarter of its ceiling, letting natural light through across approximately 6,000 sq ft.
The 4,500 sq ft gallery
White walls, pillars and a painted concrete floor frame the main gallery. Presentations and press days need a plain backdrop, which is what it gives, and functions for up to 260 people fit on its floor.
A brick-walled studio at the rear
The 1500 sq ft studio has brick walls and holds up to 110 if hired on its own, while the two spaces together take 320. Launch parties suit the building, and Soho parties can use the studio alone or the whole venue at once. Exhibitions, trade and fashion shows and press days all work here too.
Two entrances on two streets
Guests can come in through Phonica at 51 Poland Street or The Courtyard at 16-18 Marshall Street. Exhibitions and fashion shows can use whichever door suits the audience, as can presentation days and trade shows in the room.
