Theatre Deli has taken on two additional floors of office space and a retail unit at its current main venue on Leadenhall Street, turning the additional 20,000sqft of unused space into highly flexible rehearsal, development and performance space for artists and community groups.  

---

Theatre Deli’s newly acquired space more than doubles its City of London venue's capacity to over 35,000sqft, and includes 16 new studios that range in size from bedrooms to ballrooms.

The majority of the studios are bookable online now at highly affordable rates, with all spaces available at £5 per hour on-the-day for Theatre Deli members. Two new Writers Pods, are also available for Theatre Deli members, bookable by the day at no additional cost. Like all our spaces, these are intended to create affordable options for independent artists and community groups to create a home in the centre of London.

Our three large studios on the first floor are perfectly suited to longer rehearsal processes with larger casts, big games and workshops, or even conferences. These spaces are available directly through us - please contact [email protected] to enquire.

We also have a newly refurbished performance and rehearsal space Next Door, with street-facing access, and lighting & sound capabilities, which is now open to hire enquiries. The frontage will also house a seasonal street-facing visual art commission. Please email [email protected] if you’re interested in hosting an event with us.

Our new street-facing "Next Door" performance and event space

We have been near capacity at Leadenhall Street for over a year, and we're excited to offer more affordable and accessible space in the city-centre with this expansion. Now is a great time to come to us with big ideas for wild events. We're looking forward to seeing you here soon.

“Theatre Deli continues to be innovative and experimental in its approach to empty spaces, and this expansion could not come at a better time for London artistic communities. I am proud that our charity can expand its offering to the sector and to the artists that need support most. - Theatre Deli’s Chair, Pam Fraser Solomon
