All our venues for hire in East London
Woolly Mammoth has 17 venues for hire in East London, in Hackney and Clapton, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Haggerston, Limehouse and St Katharine Docks. Most are converted warehouses and factories with large windows, booked for workshops, team offsites and photo or video shoots. Each one seats between 10 and 30 people (up to 50 standing) and cost from £125 an hour, or £1,000 to £1,900 for a full day, with no booking fee. Tell us your date and headcount: we send a shortlist, set up viewings and catering, and one of us checks you in on the day.
The East End's old workshops, breweries and laundries were built for making things, with daylight, height and open floors. The same features now suit a planning day or a campaign shoot. Prices are also lower here than in the rest of our collection: a typical full day costs £1,300 in East London, against £1,500 across our 65 London venues.

Before you book in East London
- Tell us what you are bringing. Many of these buildings are former factories on quiet residential streets. We confirm lifts, loading and parking with the venue before you book; Sprattsfactory has parking on site.
- Count seats, not square feet. A 2,000 sq ft loft with a kitchen island and a sofa corner may seat fewer people than its size suggests: each venue page gives its seated capacity.
- Allow for the last mile. Most venues are a short walk from an Overground or DLR station, so plan a taxi for heavy kit or for guests with limited mobility.

You hire the whole space for your time slot, not a room in a shared building. Our help costs nothing extra: we shortlist venues that fit your date and headcount, book viewings, put you in touch with caterers and AV suppliers, and one of our team checks you in on the day.
