The Basing House is a welcome edition to East London’s thriving bar and club scene. Situated on Kingsland Road, in the very heart of Shoreditch, this 300 capacity late-licensed venue is the ideal setting for parties of a more clandestine nature. Each weekend features an array of curated events where you can look forward to hearing music supplied in it’s finest form by a number of renowned DJ’s, brands and record labels. With its exposed brickwork, intimate environment, devastating Funktion 1 sound system and a dedication to underground music, the Basing House has all the right ingredients for a big night out. Not to excite you too much but it will soon also feature a loft bar and roof terrace.

Music

At the Basing House, music is undeniably our greatest passion. The ethos we represent is open-minded, with an approach towards contemporary electronic music that takes in disco, deep, tech, dubstep, drum and bass and much more besides.

Bookings

We have a flexible approach to bookings and look at every proposal on an individual basis. If you would like to host an event at the Basing House, and work alongside us, then please do get in touch.

The Basing House is also the perfect venue for any kind of event or celebration, including birthdays, wedding receptions, film or photo shoots, fashion shows, product launches, art shows and any derivative. If you have any queries in regards to hosting an event of such a nature then we would be more than happy to accommodate your needs.

All In London Review

Just another Shoreditch venue?

Clubs and bars are ten-a-penny in Shoreditch nowadays, so what makes Basing House stand out amongst the rest? It’s not the exposed brickwork at this pub-turned-warehouse, or the Funktion 1 sound system that has become a prerequisite for anyone wanting to host a party. Nor is it the Kingsland Road location, within close proximity of a dozen other trendy bars/clubs. What does set it apart is its intimate capacity for 300 people, its dark, dingy environment designed for dancing (not posing), and interesting line ups that combine up-and-coming talent and emerging label nights with more established DJs. Past guests have included Kenny Larkin, Azari and III and Geddes, in other words DJs whose talents have garnered them a faithful following, if not necessarily mainstream fame. The music on offer is always electronic, but within that you’ll find disco, deep house, nosebleed techno and more. The crowd depends on the night, there’s a mixture of Shoreditch regulars looking for a party and those who’ve turned up specifically for the DJs playing.

As well as the main room, there is a roof terrace with plenty of seating for smokers, plus a large umbrella that shelters from the inevitable rain. Admission fees vary depending on the night, but some events are free until a certain time or only a fiver, best to check before you go. Open on Fridays and Saturdays only, the partying goes on till 4 am.

The last time we went there was a very bizarre bouncer who made a big show of having some authority by wanting to know our middle names before letting us in! Otherwise like this club, it's intimate, dark and has a nice roof terrace.
