Carpenters Workshop Gallery’s Ladbroke Hall Is London’s Latest Cultural Hub

Ladbroke Hall is imagined as a new cultural space in London. The flagship for Carpenters Workshop Gallery, it opens its doors this week with two exhibitions — one showcasing David Adjaye’s latest design objects, the other a display of work by the late Brazilian designer Jose Zanine Caldas.

Ladbroke Hall, though, has bigger ambitions. Once building work is completed in September 2023 to a cost of around £30m, this vast 43,000 square foot space will become a vibrant creative hub to unite art, design, theater, dance, music, food and wine, and more. Ladbroke Hall is about removing art and design from the static gallery space for something altogether more emotive.
