Spaces in The Calder Theatre Bookshop

Theatre Space
Ideal for a shoot with a stage or plain brick wall as a backdrop, the Theatre Space at The Calder Theatre Bookshop offers a unique and versatile setting for film and photo projects. Nestled in the heart of Waterloo, just a short walk from Waterloo and Southwark stations, this venue combines artistic charm with practicality. The space features comfortable seating, a stage, and tables, making it perfect for rehearsals, auditions, and creative workshops. While the room is separated from the bookshop by a curtain, some ambient noise may occur, adding to the authentic atmosphere. Enjoy free parking on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, with a convenient loading bay opposite for easy access. Surrounded by a vibrant selection of cafes, restaurants, and pubs, many open late, this location is ideal for both work and relaxation. Experience the perfect blend of creativity and convenience at The Calder Theatre Bookshop.
The Basement
This is a basement rehearsal space, quiet, undisturbed and generously lit. There are tables and chairs if needed and wifi access. There is also a piano for hire making it useful as a practice room for musicians or for musical theatre. The ceiling is low though at 7 feet so this is not good for jumping or throwing your hands in the air. There is a huge mirror at one end with a curtain which you can draw if you don't like to bask.
