Pull back the heavy doors and step into our Basement at D&AD, where exposed ductwork and polished concrete floors create the perfect creative playground for your next celebration. This 140-person capacity space has become the go-to spot for agencies throwing wrap parties, startups celebrating funding rounds, and teams letting loose after product launches. We've arranged the space with flexibility in mind. That long wooden table you'll spot, surrounded by our signature mix of colourful chairs, regularly hosts everything from cocktail-making workshops to design showcases. When the music kicks in through our PA system (you can keep the party going until 10pm), the concrete floor becomes a dance floor, while the plush sofas and cushioned seating areas give your guests cozy corners for conversations. Our built-in AV setup, complete with projector and flatscreen TV, means you can screen presentations, play celebration videos, or run visual displays throughout your event. The kitchenette with its sleek black cabinetry and fridges keeps drinks chilled and accessible, while our approved caterers handle everything from canapés to full buffets, working directly with you on menus that match your vibe. The industrial aesthetic, softened by vibrant artwork and strategic lighting, creates an atmosphere that feels both professional and playful. We're just minutes from Whitechapel Station, and our lift ensures everyone can join the party with full wheelchair accessibility throughout. From awards ceremonies where winners take the stage under our lighting rig to team celebrations that spill across every corner of the space, we've watched countless memorable nights unfold here. The combination of East London energy, creative atmosphere, and practical amenities makes our Basement the antidote to predictable hotel function rooms, giving your celebration the distinctive edge it deserves.
