Lumiere London Old Street

Lumiere London's flagship site on Underwood Street packs six individually designed event spaces across three floors of a single Old Street building. The concept is unusual: rather than one large room subdivided, each space has its own character, its own ceiling height, its own atmosphere — and events can flow between them or book just the one that fits. A Bronze Winner at the 2021 London Venue Awards, the venue trades generic function-room flexibility for something more considered.

Spaces That Work as a Sequence at Lumiere London

The New White Loft on the third floor is the blank canvas — bright, naturally lit, clean-lined, built for product launches, conferences, and anything that benefits from a minimal backdrop. Directly below, the Palm Room reverses the energy with soft greens, translucent curtains, and fitted seating designed for breakout sessions or intimate dining. The New Victorian Loft brings something different again: plush velvet furnishings and mood lighting across 2,433 square feet, handling up to 210 standing. The Chalet, La Galeria, and The Studio complete the set, offering breakout, gallery, and compact options respectively.

Why Multi-Room Hire Changes the Format at Lumiere London

Single-room venues force compromises — networking in the same space as presentations, catering squeezed around the main layout. Lumiere London's stacked arrangement means each stage of an event gets its own setting. Guests move between floors and moods rather than watching furniture being rearranged. A full Underwood Works buyout connects all six spaces for events that genuinely need the range.

Old Street and Practical Details

Underwood Street is six minutes from Old Street station — firmly in the creative-tech district that shapes the venue's natural audience. The building is fully DDA compliant with lift access throughout, a cargo lift for production requirements, and in-house catering alongside the option to bring external caterers.
