Can I bring my own furniture and equipment? 

We want the London Bridge Hive to be as versatile as possible; bringing your own furniture is welcomed. Unfortunately, we cannot allow any fixtures that will leave any marking on the walls or floors, however, display shelves are available and we're happy to work with you to find alternative set-up solutions.

 

Is there a kitchen? 

This is a kitchen on site, however it is a very small space and we do not have cooking facilities. If you are working with caterers they will need to prepare food offsite. We have a small fridge and freezer - please confirm with a team member if you need to use it prior to or on the booking day.

Can you provide catering?

We don’t provide catering, so you will need to make your own arrangements. You’re welcome to use any catering company, but you can find our local recommendations here. Please make sure the food is delivered during your booking hours and note that there is no fridge-space for storage. We have disposable plates, cutlery and napkins; please let us know in advance if you’ll need some.

Is the space accessible?

We are in the process of making the new space accessible. There is a large step into the building that currently prevents wheelchair access. Inside there is a lift to the first floor and an accessible toilet.

 

Can I park my car in the area ?

As we are located just 2 minutes away from London Bridge station, we would recommend that visitors and users utilise the transport links. Holyrood Street can be used for drop offs/ pick ups but not for parking; the area mainly comprises of parking bays for permit holders; there is an NCP Car park, rates may differ – you can check here. There is also a YourParkingSpace Carpark here. Please note that we are based in the Congestion Charge area.

 

Would this space work for a small meeting?

We wouldn’t recommend it for a meeting with less than 8 people, as the room is quite spacious and voices might echo if there are only a handful of people using it.
