This striking venue in Central London has three unique spaces for hire for your parties, book launches, workshops & meetings.

GALLERY & COURTYARD
THEATRE
CLUB ROOM

Perfect for parties, book launches, workshops, meetings, music recitals, theatre performances and more.
Unique in their charm, all spaces benefit from natural light, fully integrated AV facilities and conserved period features of this 19th century Grade II listed building, steeped in history.

Based in the heart of Bloomsbury, the Gallery is served by excellent public transport connections, just a few minutes’ walk from Holborn and Russell Square London Underground Stations.

Founded in 1979, October Gallery has been instrumental in bringing to worldwide attention many of the world’s leading international artists, including El Anatsui, Rachid Koraïchi and Romuald Hazoumè. The Gallery promotes the Transvangarde, the very best in contemporary art from around the planet, as well as maintaining a cultural hub in central London for poets, writers, intellectuals and artists, and hosts talks, performances and seminars.

The Gallery space, arranged across two rooms with a cour yard, can accommodate up to 150 people.
Both rooms have access to the courtyard which contains various species of Acer, Camellia, fern, Brugmansia and hanging baskets with trailing Begonia.

    Walked by the October gallery, off Queen Square Gardens, after seeing a friend the other evening. Paused to capture these photos of the outside (while it was closed). The Gallery has, for years, showcased contemporary African art. Must visit again soon!📌 🎨

    The exhibition space is free and has great shows, the garden is a genuine oasis and the theatre upstairs is extremely well equipped. All together a genuinely creative space run by enthusiastic and helpful staff

    This venue is nice. I usually come here in the summer for events. The staff are always really warm and friendly and they have a lovely little courtyard at the back.
