Oru East Dulwich hosts talks, panels, workshops, wellness events, supper clubs and parties for up to 100 guests across five spaces, from a plant-filled members' lounge to an open-air rooftop, plus a seven-person meeting room. The building is at 20-22 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich, South London, and combines coworking, movement studios, a sauna and the Trinco restaurant.
Seminars and company events
For a company, the Members Lounge is the main room for content: it seats 40 for a talk or a panel and holds up to 70 for an event. It can be hired on its own or together with one of the studios, which allows a plenary in the lounge and a breakout or a wellbeing session next door. The Sanctuary and Suryan studios suit team days built around yoga, pilates, meditation or sound healing, a format the venue runs every week. For the evening, the Trinco restaurant area takes up to 100 people with food included, and the Rooftop takes up to 60 in the open air. Smaller meetings can use the 7-person Meeting Room, booked by time slot online. The building also offers hot desks, fixed desks and private offices, which can help a remote team that needs a base for a few days.
Weddings and receptions
Oru sells weddings at its Sutton site, not at East Dulwich. In Dulwich, the restaurant area and the rooftop are offered for parties and group supper clubs, which covers birthdays and private celebrations within the capacities below.
Rooms and capacities
The Members Lounge is a lounge filled with plants: 40 seated for talks and up to 70 for events, used for open mic nights, clubs and wellness talks. The Sanctuary is a quiet studio for 18 people in movement classes, 22 for sound healing and 28 for meditation. Suryan is a bright studio for 12 people on mats for yoga or pilates, or 13 for barre. The Trinco restaurant area holds up to 100 people for parties and supper clubs. The Rooftop is an open-air space for up to 60 people, set up as a yoga deck or a dance floor. The 7-person Meeting Room completes the offer. A venue hire deck can be downloaded from the site, and each space has its own enquiry form.
Catering
Trinco, the restaurant in the building, runs as its own business with its own website. Hire of the Trinco area includes food, and the venue lists group supper clubs among its formats. For the lounge, the studios and the meeting room, the site does not describe catering, so ask whether Trinco can serve an event held in another space.
History and setting
Oru is a coworking and wellness venue with two sites in South London, East Dulwich and Sutton. The Dulwich building mixes desks and offices, movement studios, a new sauna, a restaurant and a rooftop, so a group day can combine work sessions, exercise and a meal without leaving the address. Lordship Lane is the main shopping street of East Dulwich, which gives guests cafés and shops within a few minutes on foot.
Getting there
The address is 20-22 Lordship Lane, London SE22 8HN. East Dulwich station, on the Southern line to London Bridge, is a short walk away, and several bus routes serve Lordship Lane. Opening times are listed on the venue's contact page, and enquiries go to the team by phone or email.
