About

The Department Store

Located in the heart of Brixton, The Department Store is a beautifully restored Grade II listed landmark offering a distinctive collection of contemporary event spaces for conferences, meetings, private dining, product launches, receptions and corporate celebrations. Originally built as Bon Marché, London's first purpose-built department store, the building has been reimagined as a vibrant destination combining striking architecture, flexible event spaces and exceptional hospitality.


The venue brings together a variety of unique settings, from an industrial-style courtyard venue and rooftop restaurant to elegant private dining rooms and contemporary meeting spaces. Whether hosting a leadership conference, networking reception, awards dinner or product launch, The Department Store provides a creative environment that blends heritage with modern design.
