White City House
/ About
White City House occupies the upper floors of Television Centre, the west London complex the BBC broadcast from for half a century. Soho House opened it on 23 April 2018 across five floors, with a rooftop pool, a gym, bedrooms, a games room and the Electric Cinema. The interiors nod to the building's Sixties and Seventies without dressing up as a period piece: brass-trimmed bars, silvered coffered ceilings, velvet in deep greens and reds.
Events run mainly through the studios. Studios A and B face a red-curtained stage and carry two bars, a cloakroom, a dedicated green room and an AV system; taken together they hold 200 standing or 100 seated, and they split for smaller nights. Studio A is the room built for music, with a full bar down one wall, a chandelier and a parquet floor left clear in front of the stage. On the eighth floor, Studio 8 steps down in tiers of velvet banquettes to a sunken parquet floor made for dancing, with its own stage, private bar and outdoor terrace. The Gallery sits alongside it, a smaller room hung with framed works for dinners of 30. Downstairs, three Electric Cinema screening rooms seat 31 to 46 in velvet armchairs.
Most of the House's spaces are hired through a Soho House member. Catering, the bar and production are handled in-house by the events team.

Studios A and B

Studio A

The Gallery
