Holywell Lane - The Overground Terrace

Positioned on Holywell Lane in the heart of Shoreditch, this rooftop terrace is one of East London's most distinctive event and hospitality spaces, built around a genuine piece of London transport history. Two decommissioned Underground carriages, hand-painted in vivid graffiti artwork, sit above a corrugated-steel structure and frame a sweeping open-air terrace beneath sail-style canopy shading. Polished concrete flooring, industrial steel columns and a mix of covered and uncovered seating areas create a space that feels equally suited to daytime brand activations, product launches or evening drinks events. The terrace comfortably accommodates long-table dining and standing café-style seating, with a service hatch and bar area built into the flanking steel-clad walls, while a galvanised staircase connects the space to the carriages above, where guests can step inside one of the original trains for a truly unexpected vantage point over the city. With planted borders, a gravel seating nook and uninterrupted skyline views toward the City and Canary Wharf, this is a rare opportunity to take over a space that combines industrial character, striking visual identity and genuine novelty.
