Studio 210 is not for the faint of heart or the easily irritated. It’s for people who enjoy accidentally elbowing a mime in the ribs while trying to order a £9 flat white. But here’s the hook: every time you visit, the space has changed. Last winter, I walked in to find the walls covered in glitter, a DJ playing Mongolian throat singing, and a pop-up shop selling “emotional support stones.” I left with a rock named Gary and a newfound appreciation for chaos.

The Location Hack
Pro tip: the building’s front door is incredibly easy to miss because it’s sandwiched between a vape shop and a vegan burger joint that closed three years ago but still has its sign up. Look for the faded red door with the number “210” written in biro on a piece of masking tape. That’s it. If you see a group of people wearing berets and staring at their phones, you’re in the right place.
