This striking venue in Central London has three unique spaces for hire for your parties, book launches, workshops & meetings.

GALLERY & COURTYARD
THEATRE
CLUB ROOM

Perfect for parties, book launches, workshops, meetings, music recitals, theatre performances and more.
Unique in their charm, all spaces benefit from natural light, fully integrated AV facilities and conserved period features of this 19th century Grade II listed building, steeped in history.

Based in the heart of Bloomsbury, the Gallery is served by excellent public transport connections, just a few minutes’ walk from Holborn and Russell Square London Underground Stations.

Founded in 1979, October Gallery has been instrumental in bringing to worldwide attention many of the world’s leading international artists, including El Anatsui, Rachid Koraïchi and Romuald Hazoumè. The Gallery promotes the Transvangarde, the very best in contemporary art from around the planet, as well as maintaining a cultural hub in central London for poets, writers, intellectuals and artists, and hosts talks, performances and seminars.

The Gallery space, arranged across two rooms with a cour yard, can accommodate up to 150 people.
Both rooms have access to the courtyard which contains various species of Acer, Camellia, fern, Brugmansia and hanging baskets with trailing Begonia.

    I organised a concert at the October Gallery, consisting of contemporary chamber music, preceded by a reception. The Gallery's Theatre space proved ideal for the occasion, and the help by their staff was excellent, being suitably flexible and supportive. The Club Room proved to be an ideal green room, and the kitchen (though very small) was useful for the preparation of the reception. The location, in central London, was simply perfect!
