Two spacious floors of a former Victorian warehouse on Leonard Street have been kitted out for daytime eating, drinking, thinking & meeting. The interior blends the raw, pared-down character of the factory building with layers of bespoke furniture, mosaics and graphic lighting features, as well as the constantly evolving exhibitions that adorn the walls. Its open, airy, drowning in natural light and the perfect environment for meetings, lunches, an afternoon cocktail or a quick game of ping pong!
At night, The Book Club offers a cultural revolution to the East End’s social scene turning the conventional arts institution on its head, fusing boozing with brain power every night of the week through our thought provoking program of Superculture events. At the weekend we step it up a notch with clubs nights from local and national promoters featuring DJs such as Scroobius Pip, Roots Manuva, DJ EZ, Craig Charles and Norman Jay.

December 2024I've visited this venue several times before and always had a great experience. Unfortunately, last night was completely different, and the vibe was ruined by the bouncers’ unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. I had purchased two separate tickets at different times—one for myself and one for my friend. Since I was running late and it was raining, I sent my friend his ticket so he could go in ahead of me. However, the bouncers refused to let him enter, claiming they don't allow "single entry." This rule was not mentioned anywhere on the ticket or the venue's website, which made it seem like an arbitrary excuse. When I arrived, we got in line together, but one of the bouncers singled out my friend and said he wouldn't be allowed entry, offering no explanation. I tried to ask why, but the bouncer ignored me entirely. At the ID check, the second bouncer claimed it was because my friend had tried to enter earlier and was told to wait for me. This made no sense, as we were now together. Despite having his ticket with his name matching his ID, they still refused to let him in. What made this even worse was that my friend is really chill and non-confrontational—there was no reason for them to think he’d cause any trouble. It felt like they were just being difficult for no reason, which was beyond frustrating. It wasn’t until I made a scene that they reluctantly let him in. By then, the mood was ruined, and it took a while for him to feel comfortable. The whole reason we came was for his pre-birthday celebration, so this made it even more disappointing.
