    I was hiring a space for a popup event here and Mehmed the director was extremely helpful and supportive thought the process. Was so quick and understanding when communicating with me. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff, space, and location for The Factory, I highly recommend!

    Incredible venue for our first ever pop up event! Mehmed was extremely attentive and nothing was a problem. The rooms to hire are gorgeous, and the whole venue is sparkling clean and buzzing with beautiful energy. It's a very special space! Easy to get to via tube and lots of the small businesses located there are very lovely and supportive of people hiring the space too.

    Special little place with few independent shops and a cute cafe. I go here for my disco barre classes which are amazing !

    My first visit, on. Saturday afternoon when they were hosting a Japanese market. Seemed quite nice, not sure what's normally in the premises. Easy to find, a few minutes walk from the Overground station

    Nice venue, lots of interesting vendors including a piercing shop, hairdressers, small art gallery. I go here twice a year for the Yokimono Japanese market. There’s a cute little French themed cafe/coffee place inside too

    Really disappointed. Advertised as lots of diverse businesses but quite limited on arrival. Food service was very slow and also quite limited.

    Has clean toilets. Lovely cafe, and cute little shops. Enjoyed visiting the kimono studio. The lady in there has the best customer service and her kimonos are authentic.

    The gallery itself is nicely planned and with different exhibitions is able to display a lot of different magnificent pieces Although, as Ukrainian I find it really offending that a lot of artists who's works were displayed were russian.. It truly represents ignorance towards vast problems that need to be solved at least by not tolerating terrorists in such wonderful places as that gallery is.. (The exhibitions I visited name was "Future stars" by the Holy art gallery)

    Great communication and venue for pop-ups! I reached out to Mehmed to plan a popup performance, and was impressed by his fast response, help, and expertise. He was very open to our requests and ensured all the technical support needed would be available. He was very transparent with options and pricing as well. Looking forward to more events!

    Beautiful place with beautiful things. The Japanese Market on December is awesome!

    Great place to hire as a venue for a pop up event. I had a great time showcasing my Jewellery brand, and Mehmed and his team are so helpful! It is a beautiful space, really airy and nice decor. Thank you!

    They have got a fantastic kimono shop there but can only be accessed by appointment.

  • 5/5 Laura R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it here! Such a cool place to visit loads of independent shops, businesses and a lovely cafe

  • 4/5 Penny Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Great day out to visit the factory, Japanese exhibition inside, few food stalls, more clothing and art work inside.

  • 5/5 Johnny K. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible service, Clara the gallery manager is friendly and so supportive in getting to know the artists personally when displaying work in the gallery as well as incredibly knowledgeable on the industry, if you're looking for a place to present your work or even a place to visit in London, please definitely give the holy art gallery at the factory a browse while you're waiting for an excellently prepared coffee from the onsite coffee shop, if you're in the area, or even not in the area definitely give it a browse and pop into the myriad of other retailers onsite, you won't be disappointed

  • 5/5 Gerrard R. 1 year ago on Google
    A quite large space with a large window display bathed in a blue neon light. The Artwork is mainly student pieces and are really good and interesting. The Gallery is near a very busy and entertaining area. Worth a visit.
