Behind The Shed

Four railway arches spanning 12,000 square feet in Shoreditch, with a 30-metre private road running between them. Arches 1 and 2 house The Bike Shed Motorcycle Club — bar, restaurant, barbershop, tattoo studio — which gives the venue complex a character that no amount of interior design could manufacture. Arches 3 and 4 are the hireable event spaces: beautifully restored Victorian brick, poured concrete floors, professional rigging, and the kind of production-grade infrastructure that attracts car launches, fashion shows, and brand activations looking for genuine industrial creative space.

Vehicle Access and the Private Road at Behind The Shed

The 30-metre private road is the differentiator. Arch 3's glass doors extend fully and are wide enough to drive vehicles through, which is why Aston Martin chose the venue for the Next Generation Vantage launch. For product showcases, experiential events, and any brief that involves getting something large through the front door, this capability sets Behind The Shed apart from the majority of London's blank canvas venues.

Two Arches, Two Atmospheres at Behind The Shed

Arches 3 and 4 interconnect via two smaller jack arches but maintain their own character — Arch 3 flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling glass, Arch 4 larger and more contained. Combined capacity reaches 350-400 standing or 360 seated. The dual-space arrangement multiplies configuration options for events that need distinct zones within a single venue.

Shoreditch Production Venue

Dry hire with underfloor heating, three-phase power, studio-grade rigging, and full drainage — the specification matches professional production studios. The Shoreditch address and the motorcycle club next door add cultural credibility that purpose-built event spaces in other postcodes don't carry. Farringdon's Elizabeth Line connection is the nearest major transport hub.
