About this location
The Factory is a creative workspace in Dalston — the East London area on the Overground corridor between Hackney and Stoke Newington. The venue operates individual pods available for daily hire: Pod 16 at 40-52 person capacity for £264/day and Pod 4 at 25-40 persons for £288/day. The pod format means productions rent a defined unit within a larger managed complex — with the infrastructure and logistics support of a managed creative building rather than an empty warehouse. At these day rates The Factory is among the most affordable large-format hire options in East London. Dalston’s cultural infrastructure — Ridley Road market, the Dalston Kingsland Overground, the independent restaurants and music venues — gives a specific East London character to the surrounding streets.
