26 Leake Street - London

Mr B.

Recently attended the Weights and Biases meetup here - definitely a very interesting venue. The aesthetic is very post-modern and creates a relaxed vibe. You can also feel the Underground shaking the building every now and then! All in all, a great venue and hope to be back soon.

Went to an event at this venue, no bad words about the organisers. However the security and bar staff were awful. Extremely rude and aggressive, event ended early and everyone was harassed out of the venue at 4am many people not having a way to get home as transport services not available until earlier morning. Really dissatisfied, security and staff are meant to make you feel safe and be there if something actually dangerous happens, I would not recommend this venue at all regardless of the event being run.

If you're familiar with Nelson Mandela -- if you're unfamiliar with Nelson Mandela, this is the absolute best attraction there could ever be for you in London!

The exhibit itself is made with your first and last impression in mind, it simply makes your trip in there like an entire walkthrough of Nelson Mandela's heroic acts - what he won and what he lost in favor of his own people.

I definitely would've gotten it five stars if my experience hasn't been diminished by the most atrocious headaches I've ever had.

You should definitely visit this place sometime soon!

Fantastic modern way of telling Mandela’s story. A must visit. The exposition is a perfect mix of digital screens and historic pieces. The story of Mandela is something that needs to be told and told.

Just let us sit down what's wrong with you all? Event security spent the whole night patroling the venue making anyone who was sat down standup
Even a young woman who was walking with a cane was made to stand she explained her issue they said she could only sit for 5mins
I myself with a knee injury but no visible physical aid was told if "I have a knee injury then to go home"
That lil short lad with the grey hair told me that you know the one I'm talking about if you've been or work their
Absolutely disgusting behaviour

Spent the evening hosted by Brockmans gin. Food and cocktails were high quality and the entertainment was great. The venue had a great sound system and the atmosphere was perfect.

Great venue. Easy to find. A personal thank you to Remi on reception who had a big smile and a friendly word for everyone. A real credit to you and we don't say thank you enough, so thankyou Remi, you made arriving and leaving that extra bit special. (Business Junction event March 2025.)

Absolutely tragic experience there for my pregnant sisters birthday. 50+ ticket holders made to wait outside being told it was 1 in 1 out. How does that happen unless you've oversold your event? Cloakroom full with other areas that could've been made available clearly unused. Sound in the main room was the worst I've ever heard in 15+ years of attending events. Kicked out of the only area we found that was manageable to dance in which was behind and to the side of the stage, with no view of what was actually happening. Had to grab armfuls of coats and stand around waiting for people to come find me due again to an overful cloakroom where it appeared they were just piling them up in a heap. 1 star added for them finding food for my sister when she started flagging but honestly why wouldn't you have food stalls for a day party. Will never come back to this venue and warn everyone I know not to attend while it's under this management.
