About
Unlocked Shoreditch
UNLOCKED Shoreditch is a large-scale blank canvas event venue on Curtain Road in the heart of East London, offering 24,500 sq ft of flexible industrial space across three interconnected floors.
Designed for ambitious creative events and substantial production builds, the venue comprises six flexible studios that can operate independently, as combined spaces or as part of a complete venue takeover for up to 1,500 guests.
The Basement is the venue's largest individual event space, providing 7,944 sq ft and accommodating up to 900 standing or 500 seated guests. Designed to support live music, DJs, immersive installations and production-heavy events, it includes dedicated AV, sound, lighting, rigging infrastructure and a private green room.
At street level, the Ground Floor provides another 7,944 sq ft of white-box event space alongside a 4.5-metre-high loading bay with direct access from Curtain Road. This makes the venue particularly well suited to automotive events, product launches, exhibitions, scenic builds and events involving substantial equipment or installations.
The First Floor adds a further 6,351 sq ft of flexible space for up to 330 standing or 230 seated guests, with natural daylight and two adaptable areas that can be hired together or separately.
Across the building, industrial architecture, high ceilings, robust power, production infrastructure and extensive branding opportunities provide organisers with the freedom to transform the venue for experiential events, fashion shows, exhibitions, launches, conferences and major corporate takeovers.

The Basement is specifically equipped for live performances, DJs and music-led events, with a dedicated green room and a sound limit of 105dB. Individual floors can be hired independently or combined for full-building takeovers.

Why Hire
UNLOCKED Shoreditch provides the scale and production flexibility required for events that cannot easily be accommodated within conventional London hotels or conference venues. With 24,500 sq ft across three floors, organisers can build substantial environments while retaining separate areas for guest experience, production, catering and backstage operations.
The ability to use different floors independently is particularly valuable for immersive and experiential events. A guest journey can begin at street level before moving through exhibitions, installations or brand experiences and continuing into the Basement for presentations, performances or entertainment.
Production logistics are another major strength. The 4.5-metre loading bay, direct vehicle access, substantial power infrastructure and rigging facilities allow ambitious builds to be delivered without many of the restrictions associated with central London venues.
Its position on Curtain Road also places UNLOCKED at the centre of Shoreditch's creative and cultural district, making it particularly strong for brands, agencies, fashion, technology, media and entertainment events.
