Rehearsals
Located a two-minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, our Grade II* listed building is the perfect location for rehearsals, auditions, castings, and read-throughs.
Since opening to the public in 1895, Bishopsgate Institute has been committed to supporting creative practitioners from a broad variety of disciplines. Our Great Hall alone has hosted many of the country’s finest orchestras, West End theatre ensembles and thrilling cabarets.
To this day, we regularly host professional and amateur companies and ensembles in our historic spaces. We are proud to carry on our artistic tradition by making our versatile rooms available for hire for music, theatre, dance and much more.
