All our venues for hire in Islington
Woolly Mammoth has 4 venues for hire in Islington, all within walking distance of Angel station: a townhouse on Pentonville Road, two studios beside Regent's Canal and two kitchen studios in the Paper Mill Building on City Garden Row. They are booked for meetings, workshops, team days, and photo, video and food shoots. They seat up to 55 people (80 standing) and cost from £135 an hour, or £1,080 to £2,300 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.
Angel sits between King's Cross and Shoreditch, one stop from Old Street on the Northern line, and just outside the congestion charge zone. It suits teams who want a short trip from the City or King's Cross and a quieter street than Shoreditch, with Upper Street's cafés and restaurants for lunch.

Both Foundry studios are in the same building, so a production can book one for the set and the other for prep or catering. See all our photoshoot locations in London.

Before you book in Islington
- Count seats, not square feet. Each venue page gives its seated capacity, and a layout with a kitchen island or a sofa corner seats fewer people than the floor area suggests.
- Check the stairs. The Creative Angel Home is step-free; the Foundry Loft is up a staircase. We confirm access, loading and parking with the venue before you book.
- Plan the evening elsewhere. These venues do not take festive events or parties: for drinks after a team day, Upper Street is a five-minute walk away.
