All our Art Deco venues in London
Woolly Mammoth has three venues in genuine Art Deco buildings in London: a former aircraft factory in Hackney with a full wall of windows (Aero Loft), a 1,200 sq ft loft with 13-foot ceilings in an industrial Art Deco building in Clapton (Lumen Loft) and a top-floor loft and gallery with Crittall windows in Fitzrovia (Fitzrovia Penthouse). They seat 20 to 40 people, from £150 an hour plus VAT, with no booking fee, and companies book them for product launches, client dinners, workshops and shoots.
Three more venues on this page have period character without the Deco: mid-century interiors in a former factory at Old Street (The Designer's Penthouse in Old Street), stained glass and exposed brick in a Shoreditch townhouse (Bohemian Townhouse in Shoreditch) and a 19th-century building in Holborn (The October Gallery). Viewings, catering and AV are arranged by our team at no extra cost, and one of us is there when your guests arrive.

How to choose an Art Deco venue in London
What makes a venue Art Deco?
Art Deco is the style of the 1920s and 1930s: geometric lines, symmetry and, in industrial buildings, large steel-framed windows. In London it survives in former factories, cinemas and blocks of flats, so expect clean lines and daylight rather than a gilded hotel ballroom. Our three Deco venues are a former aircraft factory, an industrial building and a block in Fitzrovia.
Which one for which event?
| Most Popular Venues | Area | Seats | From | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fitzrovia Penthouse | Fitzrovia | 40 | £710 an hour | Launches, client dinners, receptions |
| Aero Loft | Hackney | 20 | £150 an hour | Shoots, team dinners, small launches |
| Lumen Loft | Clapton | 20 | £175 an hour | Photo and video shoots, workshops |
Capacity and catering
These are lofts rather than ballrooms: they seat 20 to 40. Fitzrovia Penthouse takes the largest group and has full AV, and its building has a Mediterranean restaurant on the ground floor for catering. Aero Loft and Lumen Loft have full kitchens for a caterer. For more than 40 seated, see our Victorian venues or our conference venues.
Shoots in an Art Deco interior
Lumen Loft comes with blackout blinds, a backdrop stand, polyboards and a hair and make-up station. Aero Loft has a mezzanine and a spiral staircase that work as backdrops. See all our photoshoot locations.
FAQs about Art Deco venues in London
From £150 an hour plus VAT at Aero Loft, £175 an hour at Lumen Loft and £710 an hour at Fitzrovia Penthouse, with no booking fee. Catering, drinks and AV come on top:
| Most Popular Venues | What makes it unique | Seats | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aero Loft | An Art Deco former aircraft factory, triple-height, with a wall of windows | 20 | £150 an hour |
| Lumen Loft | 13-foot ceilings and east-facing windows in an industrial Art Deco building | 20 | £175 an hour |
| Fitzrovia Penthouse | Crittall windows, a balcony and views of the BT Tower; seats 40 | 40 | £710 an hour |
Fitzrovia Penthouse: it seats 40, has full AV and a private balcony, and looks onto the BT Tower and the skyline at night. For a smaller launch or a press preview, Aero Loft has a DJ booth and a professional sound system.
For a 1920s theme with more space, rooms with chandeliers take the styling well: listed townhouses on Hyde Park (The Regency House) and a grand room by Hyde Park Corner (The Vault at Grosvenor Place):
| Most Popular Venues | What makes it unique | Seats | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Regency House | Chandeliers, panelling and 4-metre ceilings on Hyde Park; seats 140 | 140 | £470 an hour |
| The Vault at Grosvenor Place | Chandeliers and a grand main room by Hyde Park Corner; seats 80 | 80 | £275 an hour |
Victorian buildings date from 1837 to 1901: ornate rooms, panelling, fireplaces, brick warehouses with arched windows. Art Deco came later, with simpler, geometric lines. For Victorian rooms, see a converted building by King's Cross (The Voyage Rooms) and a schoolhouse in Peckham (Converted Victorian Schoolhouse in Peckham), or all our Victorian venues:
| Most Popular Venues | What makes it unique | Seats | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Voyage Rooms | A converted Victorian building minutes from King’s Cross | 20 | £510 an hour |
| Converted Victorian Schoolhouse in Peckham | A Victorian schoolhouse behind Rye Lane | 20 | £125 an hour |
