1 Quaker Street
1 Quaker Street is a premium site close to the epicentre of Shoreditch and Brick Lane. Home to a mix of artists, creatives and professionals, Shoreditch is a lively neighbourhood where the culturally curious hang out. Our Quaker Street site, located adjacent to Shoreditch High Street, is split into three unique event spaces:
– The Nail Bar
– The Car Wash
– The Platform
These spaces can be booked individually or together as one modular site, and each comes with on-site poster branding that leads guests from the street to the venue.
The Nail Bar
The Nail Bar is our unique pop-up site at 1 Quaker Street. Situated on the bustling corner of Quaker Street and Commercial Street, the site enjoys a constant stream of foot traffic. The Nail Bar, as the name implies, was once a real, working nail bar and has since been transformed into a distinctive event space. Seamlessly blending an inviting outdoor area with an outdoor setting, it’s ideal for hosting smaller, more intimate pop-ups, brand activations and unforgettable one-off events. Bookable on its own or combined with The Car Wash and The Platform.
Size
– 45m²
Capacity
– 50 standing in the courtyard
– 75 standing across the full venue
The Car Wash
Positioned next to The Nail Bar is our second event site, The Car Wash. As the name suggests, this expansive site is an ex-carwash and is the ideal canvas for hosting larger events; such as brand activations, performances, film screenings, talk programmes, dance events and fashion shows. Designed in a rectangular shape that gradually widens, and fully covered by a canvas roof, The Car Wash is a dynamic and captivating hybrid site that can be used for your next event, any day of the year. Bookable on its own or combined with The Nail Bar and The Platform.

Capacity

The Platform
At the opposite end of our 1 Quaker Street site is our bespoke 96 sheet with a platform extending out front. Thanks to its impressive back-drop, The Platform is a unique site that blends into the street and can be used for stunts, performances, immersive activations, and interactive campaigns. You can even park a car on it.
