About this location
The Tram Depot is the event and hire space at And Not Or Gallery in Clapton, occupying a former tramway depot building. Tram depots have a specific architectural form — wide-span arched bays, high clearance for trams, large doors for vehicle access — that gives them a distinctive industrial character different from factory warehouses or railway arches. The gallery operation within the depot brings art-world infrastructure (high lighting rigs, clean floors, gallery-quality presentation standards) without sacrificing the industrial building fabric. At 175-person capacity and £100/hr the space is accessible for mid-budget productions. Clapton’s E5 postcode sits in East London’s Hackney corridor — Victorian terraces, canal paths, the Lower Clapton Road’s independent businesses.
The former tram depot’s building fabric — the arched bays, the brick structure designed for vehicle clearance — gives a visual environment that differs from standard converted warehouse spaces. The gallery context means the floor and presentation standards are maintained to an art-world standard, which is useful for productions that need a raw industrial aesthetic without the active dust and debris of a genuinely rough warehouse. The Springfield Park and Walthamstow Wetlands nature reserves are accessible to the north for any exterior work needing green space alongside the industrial interior. E5 is served by buses from Hackney Central Overground and Clapton rail station. Booking via Tagvenue in hourly increments from £100/hr.
