26 Leake Street

26 Leake Street is a large, flexible event venue beneath Waterloo Station, set within the graffiti-lined railway arches of central London. Its industrial character, exposed brickwork and high ceilings give organisers a striking setting for events that need more personality than a conventional blank room. The interconnected spaces can be hired separately or combined, allowing the layout to suit different guest numbers and event formats. The full venue can accommodate up to 1,150 people standing, while individual rooms work for smaller gatherings, breakout sessions and private areas.

The venue is suited to exhibitions, conferences, awards dinners, brand activations, product showcases, immersive experiences, filming, music events and private functions. Tunnel 1 includes a stage and built-in production infrastructure for presentations and performances. Other areas can be arranged for guest registration, welcome drinks, exhibition displays, green rooms or VIP use. A newer, bright-finished space provides a different look from the brick arches and can be used for projections, interactive installations or as a support area.

Organisers can draw on in-house food and drink provision, with menus tailored to the event, as well as production support for sound, lighting, staging and draping. Branding options include commissioned artwork from local graffiti artists and visual treatments within the venue. Multiple entry points, a loading bay on Addington Street, accessible facilities and nearby rail and Underground connections help with event logistics. Whether planning a large-scale corporate production or a private celebration, organisers can configure the space around their programme and audience.
