Not to be confused with the home of Surrey County Cricket Club, this hip east London venue welcomes a spectrum of events, from conferences to raves – and brands love it as a spot to launch products. Located in buzzing Bethnal Green, the hangar-style space affords bookers 6,000sq ft to play with, so you’ll comfortably have room for up to 1,000 people for a standing event or 500 seated. Those with a specific decorative theme in mind will particularly enjoy its blank-canvas aesthetic. There’s also the smaller Shutter Space – with room for 80 seated guests – and a terrace, which will hold up to 150 guests for an outdoor cocktail reception.
