Hackney Depot

Hackney Depot is a creative venue in Hackney, London, offering distinctive spaces for events, workshops and productions. Set above a working bus depot near Broadway Market, the building combines an industrial feel with generous natural light and retained architectural details.

The Main Hall is an open-plan space of more than 200 square metres beneath a glazed roof. Its high ceiling, steel trusses and terracotta floor provide a characterful setting for exhibitions, screenings, workshops, masterclasses, dinners, board meetings and photo or film shoots. The hall can accommodate up to 100 guests in seated or standing arrangements. A lift, step-free access and loading bay help organisers bring in equipment and prepare the space, while Wi-Fi, storage, parking and outdoor space are also available. The venue is licensed until 11pm, with extensions possible by arrangement.

For photography and filming, the White Studio offers around 70 square metres of daylight-filled space, with white walls, a concrete floor and exposed timber trusses. It is suited to portraits, look-books, e-commerce shoots, castings and small video productions. Rails, tables and seating are available, and the lift and loading bay make it easier to move equipment.

Organisers can enquire about hiring either space for a one-off booking and discuss requirements with the venue team. Hackney Depot's setting and flexible layout make it a practical choice for creative gatherings, showcases and productions seeking an individual East London location.
