Our venue boasts an exposed brick backdrop, an abundance of natural light and a stunning hanging garden of tropical plants. The spacious layout includes a cocktail bar, lounge area and separate dining space, as well as a covered summer terrace.

The building started life over 150 years ago as a brewery and later as a mechanic's workshop. We've lovingly restored it back to its full potential, keeping many of the original period features.

These details, along with the beautiful natural light, offer a stunning backdrop for photographs. It's a place so full of character that you'll never forget it.

From birthdays to weddings to product launches, our beautiful period backdrop, green foliage and banging cocktails will help bring your event to life.

    I photographed a wedding here on the weekend. It was one of the best venues I've been to. The staff are so amazing and friendly, they really look after their suppliers. The wedding breakfast room is a perfect combo of industrial and high end but still has a cool edge to it with its white brick and metal frames. I would like to that the staff at the venue for being so lovely to me and I cant wait to be back again.

    Update: this is no longer a coffee shop it’s just a private hire venue that pedals some coffee between events. I have attempted to go a dozen times in the past year only to see that it is closed for a private event. At this point what is the point of pretending to be a local coffee shop when it’s never open for locals to obtain a single coffee. Don’t waste the walk . . . (Old review from 2018 below) My favourite coffee shop in East London. Decor 10/10 Lots of seating, never an issue to stay on Food and pastries are great- toasted sandwiches and soup are great. Drinks in the evening- highly recommend one of the signature espresso martinis! Very cheap I think £8. Lovely staff, and the same friendly faces each time! Back garden is open during summer which adds space and let’s you sit outside! Also holds supper clubs with local chefs/ florists! Free WiFi, great lighting, great coffee
