If you’re holding an exhibition, launch or private event that requires a blank canvas space as well as a stylish area for an after party, look no further than Beach Blanket Babylon in the ever-trendy and rapidly growing town of Shoreditch.
This bar and restaurant has proved a popular destination for those looking for a night of sophistication and opulent surroundings, but this party venue has cleverly reserved a space for private functions that can be adapted to suit almost any kind of occasion – with a particular lean towards displaying works of art, and building more unusual settings from scratch as a backdrop to events which require more customisation and personalisation.
The Gallery has its own private bar and iPod dock, with bright white walls and a painted white wooden floor. Enormous windows are a feature on every wall, and let in plenty of natural daylight as they are not obscured or blocked by the surrounding buildings. The high ceilings allow for larger pieces and props, and also house a futuristic lighting rig made of flexible LED lights, specifically commissioned for the space to bring in lots of options for you to play with when illuminating the environment. There’s also a hanging system for setting up projectors, banners and screens, and the simple addition of some floor lights with gobos allow you to completely brand this space in a matter of seconds. There are power points everywhere, as well as a good, fast WiFi connection.
Once your exhibition or function has come to an end, you can hire the Champagne Bar for an evening of drinks, dancing and modestly taking compliments on your fabulous and successful event in the Gallery. This gorgeous space uses a subtle red and gold theme and really projects an image of 21st century wealth mixed with humble classical elegance, using antique-style chairs alongside chunky, leather-clad booths. Crystal chandeliers and Tiffany lamps create an atmospheric and moody atmosphere for an evening celebration, and the fully stocked bar is certain to keep your guests happy into the early hours. A mouth-watering selection of canapés is also on offer, and if you so wished, you could indulge in a luxurious brunch before your day begins.
