Ladbroke Hall itself is as much a draw as the music. Originally built in 1903 as the Clément-Talbot factory, this Beaux Arts building was designed to reflect the elegance of an English country house. Over the years, it has hosted a variety of functions, from military vehicle production during WWI to housing Thames Television in the 1980s. In 2019, it was transformed into a vibrant cultural venue by Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail, founders of Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Today, Ladbroke Hall is a multidisciplinary space where jazz, art, dance, and poetry come together, offering a dynamic platform for artistic expression and community engagement.
