Amazing place. Hosted a birthday party here and the artplay staff were so helpful. Would really recommend. They provided us a nice area for all of us to sit together. The supplies available are great, all sorts of paints, brushes etc. The bar is great with a nice range of drinks, even has good coffee! They let me cut my birthday cake there too which was super kind of them :) One tiny nitpick, there was no WiFi (I wanted to use a website to give examples of the art challenge but the 4G/5G signal wasn't too great either). Obviously not a real problem but something to be aware of if you are planning to use online resources for your class!

I had the best time at this workshop! Everyone was so friendly and I like how we were able to take our time. 2 hours was plenty of time. I'd definitely go again!

I wanted to do something nice with my gf and spend a cute date. The place was easy to find,nice,spacious and luminous. The walls were decorated with paintings and one could get inspired to start a new painting,the supplies were good quality and there was quite a wide variety or choice. The atmosphere was really creative,nice ambience music and fun vibes. I loved every bit.

Absolutely excellent experience, the staff were lovely and friendly and helped with inspiration. I will be recommending this to everyone for something a bit different to do in London. I also liked the venue a lot, it had a really nice family friendly but not childish atmosphere.
