The Violin Factory

The Violin Factory is an exclusive-use event venue on London's South Bank, close to Waterloo Station. Set in a converted building with a contemporary, loft-inspired character, it offers event planners a distinctive alternative to a conventional meeting room or function hall. The flexible space is suited to corporate gatherings, creative off-sites, press and product launches, conferences, receptions and private dining.

The venue can accommodate up to 180 guests standing. For seated events, layouts include theatre and cabaret arrangements for up to 80 people, dining for up to 40, and boardroom seating for up to 30. A professional kitchen supports event catering, with the venue team able to discuss requirements and work with its selected caterers. The venue is available for a range of event formats, from a focused board meeting to a larger reception or launch.

Facilities include a cinema room, a book-lined study, two roof terraces, six bathrooms and Wi-Fi throughout. Natural light is a notable feature of the building, while the different rooms and floors give organisers options for shaping the event experience. Floor plans are available to help with planning and set-up.

The team can advise on practical arrangements and sustainability considerations. The venue highlights renewable electricity, an on-site water-filtering system and caterers selected with sustainability in mind. Its South Bank location also offers convenient public transport links, particularly from Waterloo. Event planners can contact the venue to discuss their brief, arrange a visit and explore how the space could work for their guests and programme.
