Featured Venue of the Week: The Tomlinson Centre, Hackney
Housed in a converted school building, The Tomlinson Centre brings together high ceilings, large windows, and genuinely adaptable layouts across its multiple rooms. Managed by Hackney Venues, it's built for organisers who need flexibility, professional facilities, and clear pricing without the central London price tag.
The centre works well for conferences, training days, workshops, and hybrid events, thanks to its hybrid-ready AV infrastructure and in-house catering. It also holds a couple of specialist spaces worth knowing about: an IT training suite for tech-focused sessions, and a one-way mirror observation room, ideal for research groups, focus group studies, and behavioural sessions.
Published pricing means no drawn-out quote process, so organisers can budget and confirm bookings quickly. Whether you're running a training programme, a research session, or a creative industry event, The Tomlinson Centre offers the adaptability and infrastructure to make it happen, all in a converted Hackney school building with plenty of natural light.
