Magnificent Studio Space in Historic Building

A magnificent 7,000 sq ft historic building on the edge of Regent's Park. This former Victorian riding school provides a unique setting for all types of events from smaller, more intimate weddings to grand extravaganzas, award ceremonies to fashion shows, private parties to screenings.

With three stunning event spaces to hire individually or in combination, Park Village Studios offers a unique setting for any event, large or small. The historic building, protected by English Heritage comes with an eclectic past which lives on through the unmatched and original architectural features of the space. Our Studios is situated metres from the Gloucester Gate entrance to Regent's Park.

Park Village Studios, also known as the Old Riding School, was built in 1892 as an indoor riding arena to serve the residents of the Nash Houses of Regent’s Park. Protected by English Heritage, its eclectic history includes housing elephants, giraffes and a brown bear named ‘Spitfire’, when nearby London Zoo was bombed in WW2. Saved from demolition in 1968, the building has been adapted into a flexible events space and state of the art hire studios, maintaining original features such as the cobbled horse ramp, cantilevered viewing gallery and William Morris tiled hallway.

STUDIO 1
Studio 1 is the centrepiece of Park Village Studios, a 2,700 sq ft double-height converted Victorian riding arena. At one end, a beautiful cast-iron spiral staircase leads to the original decorative viewing gallery and The Stables. At the other, a J-shaped infinity cove provides an eye-catching backdrop. The Studio has full blackout and daylight options, as well as flexible lighting set-ups from the steel rigging. Perfect for large numbers of guests.




STUDIO 2
Studio 2 is a more contemporary space used for product launches, presentations, as a gallery, a break-out area or catering set-up for larger events when exclusively hiring the building. With drive-in vehicle access, an open kitchen and its own Styling Suite, Studio 2 is an ultra-flexible events space. The mezzanine area above Studio 2 comes as part of the rental of this space.

STUDIO 3 (THE STABLES)
With its high-vaulted wooden beamed ceiling and elegant tiles, Studio 3 (The Stables) offers a pleasing contrast to the other studio spaces. At 1,300 sq ft it benefits from excellent natural light. The space includes a large entrance lobby, accessible via an industrial staircase built over the original horse ramp. It can be hired individually for drinks receptions, workshops, screenings and conferences or used as a breakout room when exclusively hiring the building.
