Ease of access via an underground service road makes loading in and out very easy and enables large items of equipment or installations to be fitted into the space. Our “anti-venues” might be innovative and unconventional, but our priority is the event organisers’ peace of mind and our goal the success of their events. Our team of experienced event and location managers offer organisers the same services and support traditional venues offer and more. We can provide experienced and qualified audio visual support by a dynamic production company specialising in corporate events and offering tailored services, as well as highly professional catering services by leading caterers. 2 minutes walk from Russell Square tube station (Piccadilly Line), the Brunswick Gallery is an inspiring space for creative events. As a location management consultancy providing a promotional and management capability to property owners/occupiers, SPACE-2 has over the last 6 years taken a creative approach to the issue of under-utilised or vacant property, enabling the Events, Film and TV industries to access and use exclusive locations for a limited period of time. Our portfolio is constantly changing and our spaces are often available at short notice and for a limited period of time, which prevents venue fatigue.
