LVLS hosts corporate events, parties, live gigs, art exhibitions, day parties and private functions for up to 250 guests per floor, across three floors that can be hired one by one or together. The venue is a bar and music space on Fish Island in east London, by the canal, open every day and known for live music, big-screen sport, games and cocktails.
Seminars and company events
The venue suits the social side of company life rather than a day of presentations: a team party, an end-of-year celebration, a product launch with a band or DJ, a games night or the screening of a major match. The Music Space lists corporate events among its uses and comes with a production setup that most companies would otherwise have to hire in: full backline, LED and DMX lighting, a sound engineer, SETMIXER recording, a green room, a ticket booth and a merchandise area. The Mezzanine adds pool tables, interactive darts and a big screen for a more informal group evening. The Main Bar takes day parties and brunch events as well as evening functions, so a team can book an afternoon rather than a full night.
Rooms and capacities
The Music Space holds 250 standing or 70 seated, with chairs and tables available on request, and has air conditioning. The Mezzanine seats 80 inside and 25 outside, with a mobile bar, private toilets and its own smoking area; the venue describes its screen as the biggest in Hackney. The Main Bar takes up to 250 guests with seating for large groups, overlooks the canal and has outdoor seating and air conditioning. The entire venue can also be booked for private access to all three spaces, depending on the date and existing bookings.
Catering
Food comes from The Taco House, the in-house restaurant, which is included with Main Bar hire along with cocktails from the bar. The venue pours more than 12 beers on tap and makes its own cocktails. The Mezzanine's mobile bar is quoted by email.
History and setting
LVLS spans three floors and runs a weekly program of its own, including a Thursday games night with more than 50 multiplayer games and open decks sessions. Its setting on Fish Island, a former industrial area of studios and warehouses along the canals next to Hackney Wick, gives company groups a relaxed east London backdrop close to the Olympic Park.
Getting there
The venue gives its location as Fish Island and does not publish a street address on its event pages, so confirm details with the events team. Timings matter for planning: Monday to Thursday, bookings run from 4:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; on Fridays and Saturdays live music stops at 10:30 p.m. and DJs can play until 11:30 p.m. Load-in usually runs from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., with soundcheck from 4:30 p.m. Wi-Fi in the basement is partial, so DJs should download their music in advance. The nearest Overground station is Hackney Wick.
