Whole Venue Hire, 83 Rivington Street

Three Victorian railway arches on Rivington Street in the heart of Shoreditch, totalling 9,000 sq ft plus an outdoor garden and terrace. The former Cargo nightclub site has hosted events for around two decades, and now runs as a flexible, multi-purpose event space for up to 500 guests on a private or dry hire basis.

Arch 1 is the restaurant space (50 seated, 150 standing) with a removable roof, indoor/outdoor dining and a full commercial kitchen. Arches 2 and 3 are 1,700 sq ft each (300 capacity apiece), both with bars, AV and Martin Audio sound, exposed brick and outdoor access. Arch 2 suits exhibitions and networking; Arch 3 works well for performances and showcases. A rotating street-art mural wall at the front is available for branded takeovers.

Works well for brand activations, product launches, tech and gaming events, fashion shows, exhibitions, conferences, awards, Christmas parties, weddings, and film and photo shoots. Past clients include Oner Active, SXSW London, Vercel, Open Ai, Lululemon, Waitrose, Morrisons and Virgin Atlantic Holidays.

Good to know: arches can be hired individually or together. The courtyard is shared with a neighbouring tenant unless booked out in full for the day. Full production is available through our preferred partner, Big Crazy Agency.
