VENUE & CAPACITIES
1901 Arts Club is an intimate and unique event space minutes away from the bustling South Bank in central London. Built in 1901 as a schoolmaster’s residence, the building maintains its late Victorian exterior while the Club’s beautifully decorated rooms re-create the intimate ambience of a private salon. Our ground floor Salon (or concert room) seats up to 45 concert-style. Our whole venue, including the first floor bar/lounge and small terrace will accommodate up to 60 with some guests seated and others standing, but the maximum for any one room is 45. The meeting room on the second floor offers a lockable space for green room/changing area. The use of our Steinway model C grand piano is included in the hire of the Club. We keep it serviced and tuned regularly but if you would like it tuned especially for your recital we can arrange this and recharge the tuning to you at cost. Our licence restricts music to acoustic performances only. |
