St Bride Foundation

St Bride Foundation Established in 1891 with a clear social and cultural purpose, St Bride Foundation is one of London’s hidden gems. Housed in a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building, St Bride Foundation was originally set up to serve the burgeoning print and publishing trade of nearby Fleet Street, and is now finding a new contemporary audience of designers, printmakers and typographers who come to enjoy a regular programme of design events and workshops. At the heart of St Bride is an extraordinary archive relating to printing, publishing and graphic design. With over 100,000 items, the library is probably the largest of its kind in the world and is regularly open to view. Bridewell Theatre Bridewell Theatre is a thriving off-west end venue built over the City of London’s first swimming pool. This versatile space plays host to a range of production companies throughout the year and can also be transformed into a truly atmospheric ballroom, a magical cabaret venue or conference space.
