Booking & enrolment
How do I book a studio?
Online, any time: pick a studio, pick a slot, pay. Bookings run from 6am to midnight, seven days a week, with a 2-hour minimum.
What do I need before my first booking?
One identity check before your first booking: a valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address (utility bill, bank statement or council letter, dated within the last six months). We check it and you are set. You only ever do this once.
Can I book a recurring weekly slot?
Yes. Regulars are the heart of the place. You can book a weekly series of up to 12 sessions in one go through the booking calendar, or get in touch and we'll set it up for you.
How far ahead can I book?
Up to 60 days ahead, and at short notice too: the calendar takes bookings up to an hour before a slot.
Can I change a booking?
Yes, changes are free with at least 24 hours' notice through your account. Under 24 hours it falls under the cancellation policy, but we get it, things happen: if you need to cancel late for a real reason, message us and we'll do our best to help.
Do you offer discounts for long bookings or whole weekends?
Yes. Whole weekends and long runs of hours are priced individually. Get in touch, tell us what you're planning, and we'll sort a discounted rate.
Access & self-service
How do I get into the studio?
Access details and entry codes arrive with your booking confirmation. There's no keyholder and no front desk. You let yourself in and the room is yours. Everything starts at 14 Pixley Street; for Studio 28, go through the hall, out to the yard, then left into Entrance B and up the stairs. You can share the code securely with your students or guests, but please don't post it in public channels or group apps.
Is anyone on site during my booking?
Usually not. The studios are self-service. We're always reachable on WhatsApp and email though, and if something's wrong we'll sort it.

Studio rules
