London’s Book Club has it all; bringing together humor, wisdom and offering a cultural revolution to London’s East End social scene. The Book Club (TBC) is a multi-space which includes an all day bar, club and exhibition space which operates from the early morning hours to late at night.
Housed in a slightly retouched Victorian warehouse ((100-106 Leonard Street, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 4RH), The Book Club offers unique interior design spread across two floors – the ground floor and the underground level. The interior design and creative direction for the establishment was created by Shai Akram and inspired by the interiors from New York’s café/bar scene. The ground floor is comprised of the Canteen, Bar, Ping Pong area, Lounge and restrooms. The interior design of the ground floor features exposed full length windows, creating a communication between the street and the interior, while allowing the space to feel airy, open and naturally lit. The brick walls of the former Victorian warehouse have been left untouched and in some cases exposed, while in some cases unique cutout circles allow customers to see through the width of the interior, thus creating a sense of communication with other spaces. The electrical wiring is exposed and vintage-like hanging lamps add to the interior mix and match character. Mismatched vintage chairs and sofas as well as long communal tables (the new trend in dining for quite a while now) add to the shabby-chic feel. Carefully selected vintage and deadstock fabrics have been selected for the curtains as well as for the cushions throughout.
