The best conference venues in Shoreditch

Slap bang in the middle of Shoreditch is this historic, ominous looming building. The Old Street space is a municipal Grade II listed behemoth, with a multitude of private spaces available for a range of corporate events.

Take the assembly hall, for example. 770 guests can fit into a grandiose space, with Italian marble pillars framing a Matcham-style balcony, all lit with professional-grade stage lighting.

From the grand to the intimate. Cobalance cafe is a smallish conference space in Shoreditch that nevertheless packs a punch. Located a 4-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street Station, Cobalance is well connected, allowing attendees to come from across London for a conference.

The pull, though, is Cobalance’s informal atmosphere. A relaxed vibe saturates the venue, with a very Shoreditch approach to conference space. Expect multi-coloured fluorescent lighting, a working bar, an outside area, Arcade games, a Surround Sound System and a lot of men in hats that resemble prophylactics.

Despite the grand age of the building’s structure, The Brewery has spared no expense in outfitting Porter Tun with ​a state-of-the-art sound system, Wi-Fi and fully integrated LED lighting system. You can expect to fit 1000 delegates in this Shoreditch conferencing centre.
