About TESTBED1
400 Standing / Reception
When the railway arches of Bermondsey call your name, TESTBED1 answers with 400-person capacity and the kind of raw industrial beauty that makes event planners weak at the knees. We've kept this particular space gloriously untamed, with exposed Victorian brickwork climbing up to those impossibly high ceilings that make every gathering feel like a proper celebration. The series of interconnected arches creates natural zones throughout TESTBED1, perfect for when you want a dance floor in one arch, a bar setup in another, and maybe a quieter conversation area tucked into the third. Natural light pours through the original windows during daytime events, casting dramatic shadows across the weathered concrete floors that have hosted everything from underground art shows to corporate product launches. What really makes this space sing is the acoustics, those curved brick ceilings were apparently designed by Victorian engineers who knew a thing or two about sound. Live bands love performing here, DJs appreciate how the bass rolls through the arches, and even acoustic sets carry beautifully to every corner of the room. Ten minutes on foot from London Bridge means your guests won't struggle to find us, and the street-level access keeps things simple for loading in everything from art installations to full festival-style sound systems. The concrete floors can handle whatever you throw at them, whether that's 400 pairs of dancing feet or heavy exhibition pieces. We've hosted fashion shows that used the length of the arches as a natural runway, birthday parties where each arch became a different themed area, and corporate events that transformed the space into an industrial wonderland. The exposed brick serves as the perfect backdrop for projection mapping, string lights, or just leaving it raw to let the architecture do the talking.
