Can only attest to the yoga/fitness classes that happen here, as I am not a coffee person--was looking for a studio near me and the ARC has delivered in spades. In a landscape awash with cookie cutter studios and gimmicky classes, Yoga at the ARC provides a really well curated range of classes. The focus is, obviously, yoga, but there are also a handful of more fitness-y ones (e.g., Pilates, flexibility) that are similarly excellent. The space is also beautiful, especially the larger front room with its wall of windows overlooking the street. I'm happy to leave a review but also don't want people to know about this place because it's already hard enough to secure spaces for popular classes!

London is awash with coffee shops claiming to have the latest tech and the greatest beans. However, in my view it all comes down to the barista and the arc has just that. It is one of the best flat whites I’ve had and the kind of reliable long black that you go out of your way for in the morning.

I had my baby shower around October .. I have to say it is a lovely venue - with a spacious kitchen opening to the large hall. It has good quality speakers and a projector already set up. But to top it of I would like to thank Susan for being so kind, welcoming and helpful! She made the whole experience of renting the space so much more easier! Being heavily pregnant and hosting my baby shower it wasn't at all stressful with her being so understanding! I would hire this space again!

This is a wonderful community space and café - it might look unobtrusive but they have delicious, fantastic quality coffee, hot chocolate, cakes and pastries. They are friendly and welcoming to all (including furry friends) and I feel so lucky to have it around the corner. See you soon!
