About Boathouse Studios, Barking

An unusual and quirky riverside multi-purpose venue offering four flexible studios for a variety of business, corporate and private celebration events.

Our studios have sprung floors and offer a blank canvas that can be transformed to suit your needs. This peaceful 'get-away-from-it-all' offers great privacy.

Its urban warehouse feel with exposed brick walls gives it a contemporary feel. It's the perfect setting for people who want the freedom to create their own space in their own way, and stamp their individuality. We have a 'yes and' approach to events and if we can help you to make your idea work we'll do our best to make things possible. You can bring in your own decor, catering and entertainment. We have free parking after 5pm on weekdays and all weekend. :)
