Shoreditch Arts Club

What Shoreditch Arts Club does

Shoreditch Arts Club operates as a selective private membership club and cultural venue at 6 Redchurch Street in the TEA Building, Shoreditch, London. The physical space is a former loading bay redesigned by Buckley Grey Yeoman into a multi-level venue comprising a double-height lobby with a large projection wall, a 24-seat surround sound cinema, two multifunctional private rooms configured for dining or board meetings of up to 12 guests, and a first-floor event space with three projection walls supporting moving image installations and projection mapping. The club opened in March 2023 following a January 2023 pre-opening event that hosted over 200 guests, exhibited more than 20 artworks, and screened seven films. The cultural programme is co-designed with members and partners, covering music, theatre, installation, performance, and conversations through rotating moving image commissions (Peter Spanjer, Libby Heaney, George Henry Longly, Eunjo Lee) and an editorial Journal documenting collaborators and exhibited works.

The company serves four primary segments: practising artists and creative practitioners, curators and gallerists, patrons and collectors, and brands seeking cultural event spaces. Revenue is generated through four streams: tiered annual membership subscriptions (Artist at £350, Curator at £750, Patron at £5,000, plus group memberships for organisations of three or more), private hire of individual rooms or the full venue for corporate events and brand activations, food and beverage services operated by partner Carousel with seasonal UK-sourced menus, and ticketed public events such as The Room open nights (£15) and the Archiboo Awards Ceremony (£99+VAT). Private hire clients disclosed include Spotify, TikTok, Amazon, Givenchy, NARS Cosmetics, Condé Nast Traveler, Buffalo London, Next, Penhaligon's, Phillips, Phaidon, and Exactly.ai, alongside cultural partners Sofar Sounds and Peer Gallery.

Distribution is built on a selective monthly-reviewed waiting list for memberships, a direct-to-consumer private hire enquiry process, and public ticketing via Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor. Marketing relies on the editorial Journal, email newsletters, event-driven programming, and co-hosted collaborations with cultural organisations including Frieze Connect, HERVISIONS, Good Measure, Daata, Girls in Film, and Belgium House. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees and the company operates as a privately held for-profit entity with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing.

Direct peers

• The Hospital Club: The Hospital Club was a London private members club focused on arts, media and creative professionals, offering cultural programming, dining and private hire. A historically close comparator as a Shoreditch-adjacent arts-focused club, though now no longer operating as a comparable benchmark.
• 5 Hertford Street / LouLou's: 5 Hertford Street and LouLou's are premium London private members clubs operated by the Birley Group, offering membership, dining, and private event hire in Mayfair. Comparable as high-end London members clubs monetising via subscription and event hire.
• Second Home: Second Home operates creative members clubs with cultural programming, designed workspaces, and event hire, with a focus on artistic and creative communities. Comparable arts-and-creative membership positioning and event-driven model, though with multiple locations.
• Mortimer House: Mortimer House is a London members club in Fitzrovia offering membership, workspace, F&B, and curated cultural programming with private hire. Comparable as a single-venue London members club blending cultural programming with private event revenue.
• Home House: Home House is a private members club in Marylebone, London, offering membership tiers, dining, private hire and a curated events programme. Comparable as a London-based members club monetising through subscription plus private events and F&B.
• The Conduit: The Conduit is a London private members club with a values-driven (social impact) positioning, combining membership, F&B, cultural events and private hire. Comparable mission-driven positioning and member-led programming model.
• The Arts Club London: The Arts Club is a long-established (1863) private members club in Mayfair, London, focused on arts, culture and creative industries. Directly comparable as a selective arts-themed members club operating private events, dining and cultural programming in a single London venue.

Broad incumbents

• The Standard Members Club: The Standard Hotel brand operates members clubs (e.g., The Standard, London) integrated within hotels, combining cultural programming, F&B and event hire. Comparable at the membership-and-events intersection, though anchored to a hotel real estate platform.
• Soho House: Soho House operates a global network of private members clubs with strong cultural and creative programming. It is the broadest incumbent in this category, offering membership tiers, F&B, and event hire across multiple cities. Highly comparable business model to Shoreditch Arts Club, though at far larger scale and with less arts-only focus.

Others

• Soho Works / Soho Friends: Soho Works is the workspace extension of Soho House, and Soho Friends is a lower-tier membership, both targeting creative professionals. Relevant as an adjacent membership product targeting the same creative-class demographic, though primarily workspace-led rather than culture-led.
