Venues

Regular venues

Sound By Design works in many of London's corporate and entertainment venues and supply systems to several major venues around the UK & the capital. We have become a preferred sound and AV supplier in many of these buildings as a result of consistent high standards of service and attention to detail at all levels. Due to this standard of service and the number of accreditations we have achieved, Sound By Design has also been made a listed supplier to Unique Venues of London, an organisation that promotes London venues of exceptional quality.

London's Royal Albert Hall is one of Sound By Design's major clients where it is, in-fact, the in-house sound provider. This contract means that Sound By Design service a wide range of productions, many of which do not have the time to accommodate normal show sound check schedules. Pre-designed and aligned systems, with customised rigging, mean that on many occasions a 7am get-in can mean a 9am rehearsal - in a 5000 seater venue!

Venue spotlight on: Tobacco Dock

 
Click to enlarge   The London Docks constructed in the eastern area of London during the 1800s are steeped in history and helped to support the capital’s growth throughout the Victorian era. One of the buildings at the heart of the London Docks area is Tobacco Dock, a large warehouse which has rightly achieved Grade 1 listed building status. Constructed in 1811, originally serving as a storage hold for tobacco, the buildings beautiful brick vaults and the intricate ironwork creates a stark reminder of less conventional, more eccentric structural times gone by and is definitely something to behold.

Its flexible multifunctional space combined with iconic charm has led to Tobacco Dock hosting a range of first-rate events and also being used as a location for filming. Last year the space was opened up for a screening of ‘The Red Shoes’ run by ‘Secret Cinema’, the underground cinema club for ‘those in the know’, but now one of the venues main secrets is its use as the perfect space for corporate events. With the warehouse now set to continue running these unique and quirky events Sound By Design are excited to have recently been accredited as a technical supplier and are looking forward to assisting in any possible way in future productions at this amazing venue.
