Kachette is a popular event venue located on Old Street in East London’s street art district Shoreditch. The venue regularly host events for some of the worlds biggest brands including Google, Nike, Playstation, Instagram and Spotify. Kachette is also a unique event space for a birthday or corporate party, album launch, filming, casting, private drinks reception or small weddings. See our event videos page for highlights.

Kachette also host a programme of culturally diverse and inclusive events and exhibitions, offering a platform and visibility for artists, creatives and businesses from minority communities, BAME and LGBTQIA+.

The railway arch venue was once home to the original ticket hall of Shoreditch Railway Station which operated from 1865 to 1940. Shoreditch has been an entertainment quarter since the 16th century. The district is now a hotspot for bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants, independent shops and pop-ups. Kachette is in close proximity to Old Street station and the popular East London tourist destinations Boxpark and Brick Lane.

Kachette consists of two beautifully restored railway arch rooms with exposed Victorian era brickwork, open rigging, stunning black gated entrance and arched door and it's trademark train station clock which is situated inside the venue foyer. The venue recently installed ducted air conditioning and upgraded its internet connection offering speeds of up to 1Gbps.

In April 2024 we are opening a third room at Kachette which will have lots of natural light and a further 100 standing capacity in an open plan room. Great for popups and additional break out space.

Kachette will be available to hire as a one, two or three room hire. All rooms are connected. Details, floor plans and photos will be updated soon!
