About Venue

Located within the iconic Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, The City Summer House is one of London's most popular seasonal event venues, combining industrial warehouse architecture with landscaped outdoor entertaining space in the heart of Shoreditch. Available during the summer months, the venue provides a vibrant setting for corporate summer parties, networking events, product launches, conferences, team celebrations and exclusive private hire.

The venue blends exposed brick interiors with covered garden spaces, outdoor bars and flexible event layouts to create a relaxed festival-style atmosphere that can be enjoyed whatever the weather. High ceilings, warehouse-style architecture and extensive branding opportunities make it an excellent choice for companies seeking a creative alternative to traditional event venues.

Situated on world-famous Brick Lane, The City Summer House enjoys an enviable East London location surrounded by Shoreditch's restaurants, galleries and creative businesses, while remaining easily accessible from the City of London and Liverpool Street.

Event Spaces

Warehouse Event Space

The main warehouse space combines exposed brickwork, industrial features and contemporary production infrastructure to create a versatile environment for conferences, presentations, product launches and evening entertainment. Large windows and high ceilings provide an airy atmosphere while allowing extensive branding and production opportunities.

Covered Garden

The covered garden is designed as the venue's social hub, featuring picnic-style seating, an outdoor bar and weatherproof marquee cover. It provides an ideal setting for summer receptions, networking events, drinks parties and informal corporate entertaining.

Secret Garden

The Secret Garden offers a more relaxed outdoor space with festoon lighting and casual seating, creating an intimate area for guests to unwind, network or enjoy drinks away from the main event.

Exclusive Venue Hire

Exclusive hire combines the indoor warehouse and outdoor gardens into a single interconnected venue, allowing organisers to create multi-zone events with dining, entertainment, presentations and networking taking place simultaneously.

Facilities and Services

The City Summer House offers integrated audiovisual facilities, staging, production infrastructure, high-speed Wi-Fi, indoor and outdoor bars, flexible catering options and extensive branding opportunities throughout the venue. Dedicated event management teams can coordinate entertainment, production, furniture, games and bespoke theming, while BBQs, street food concepts and festival-style catering packages complement the venue's relaxed atmosphere.

Location and Access

Located within the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in Shoreditch, the venue is within easy walking distance of Shoreditch High Street, Liverpool Street and Aldgate East stations, providing excellent transport links across London. Ground-floor access makes installation and supplier loading straightforward, while production vehicles can be coordinated in advance with the venue team.
