Creatives Spaces in London

There are many reasons you could be looking for a creative space for hire in London. From just a desk space or meeting room to bigger photography or pop-up plans, a creative space can be recognised differently by individuals, depending on their careers and event planning. However, the meaning of ‘creative space’ will always imply that it’s a venue or space where people can think and be inspired.

But how can you make sure you’re going the right way about finding the best creative space in London for you? Let’s go through a few things:

Your reasoning

We’ve just mentioned how creative spaces can be seen and used differently by different people. Not only can one individual have totally opposite specifications (size, capacity, features, etc) to others, but one individual can also see a blank canvas venue in a completely different light to others.

What can creative spaces be used for?

·         Brainstorming sessions

·         Annual General Meetings (AGMs)

·         Product launches

·         Art and photography exhibitions

·         Shops and pop-ups

·         Studios

Your vision

When it comes to finding the perfect creative space for you, you need to have a vague idea of what you are planning. As in, more than just the reason for the event; you want to think about how many people are invited or involved, how much space you’ll be needing, the features you can’t do without, and so on.

Some venues will meet your specifications and some venues won’t, so make sure you do your research on what you need, and then ask the right questions before you book somewhere.

Your blank canvas

Most of the time with a creative space, it’s better to be a blank canvas venue. That way, you have more scope to let your imagination and your creativity run wild. Themed venues are great for celebrations and other types of events, but when it comes to getting your head down and ‘in the game’, a bare space can me so much more rewarding.

We have a range of blank canvas event spaces for hire on Canvas, all in various locations and with various capacities.

What is a blank canvas venue?

A blank canvas venue, unlike many creative spaces, is normally an open space with white walls. They make ideal spaces for events where you want to add your own creative flair, like an exhibition or product launch. They are usually very experienced in organising these types of events, and may be able to help you with hanging decorations or art on the walls. Make sure you ask how long you have the venue for, as you’ll need to include set up and clean up time in your contract – otherwise your event will be less decorated than you’d like!
