Background Nestled at the back of Angel station, The Islington Metalworks is a completely unique venue, steeped in history.
Built in the late 19th Century, all three floors were initially used to stable the horses that pulled the trams for London Transport. In 1925 it was converted into a metal works. This element of the business is still running successfully today.
Much of the building has now been restored, creating a number of inspiring spaces.
We hold a wide variety of functions including weddings, club nights, gigs, exhibitions, fashion shows, and corporate parties. To name but a few. The premises are also used frequently as a film location.
Facilities We are fully licensed and have three operational bars on the ground floor. The Courtyard houses our famous tube carriage cocktail bar, and there are bars in both the restaurant and club area. These spaces can be used independently or in conjunction with each other to service up to 500 people.
A well-equipped kitchen is on site. The restaurant can be furnished for 120 covers. A stylish and fully functional indoor barbecue area is also available.
The Club has a Turbosound Highlite system installed that is suitable for both live acts and DJs. We keep modular staging in-house for live performances that can also be configured as a catwalk for fashion shows. Our experienced operations team have the ability to provide event support at any level.
