The Space

A quirky events hire space in the heart of Islington, North London.

Born basement is located in the heart of Islington, in walking distance from Angel underground tube station and Kings Cross. During the day this space is a photography studio and agency, but by night it can be transformed into a multitude of various event spaces, from art exhibitions, talks and demos to parties. It benefits from having it’s own on site parking, just outside of the congestion charge zone.

Born Basement also has the added benefit of a street access-loading bay, with parking and access to a lift and stairs for ease. This can be used as a main entrance for an event or alternatively we have a reception with front of house if required to show guest to the space.

Availability - Monday- Friday – 6pm – 11pm / Saturday & Sunday 9am to 11pm
