Ladbroke Hall
Ladbroke Hall, built in 1903, began as the Clément-Talbot factory, a pioneering Edwardian car showroom. Founded by Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury, the hall’s grand Beaux Arts architecture echoes an English country house, reflecting the Earl’s passion for classicism. During WWI, the factory also produced military vehicles, contributing to the war effort.
After the war, the site evolved, housing various automobile-related activities and Thames Television in the 1980s. Acquired in 2019 by Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail, founders of Carpenters Workshop Gallery, the building was carefully restored, once again operated as a single entity.
Today, Ladbroke Hall a vibrant cultural venue open to all, showcasing all forms of artistic expression, from Jazz to dance and poetry, in line with its legacy of creativity and innovation.
