Getting to Shoreditch Treehouse: the address, the stations and an easy arrival

Crowned Most Unusual or Unique Venue at the 2023 London Venue & Catering Awards, Shoreditch Treehouse is a third-floor loft tucked into the heart of Shoreditch. Twelve tall sash windows flood the room with daylight, lush greenery climbs the walls, and a Steinway concert grand and indoor swings give it the feel of a secret garden in the sky. It is designed for team off-sites, leadership sessions, product launches and creative gatherings of up to around 60 people. For all that character, the practical question on the day is refreshingly ordinary: how do you and your team actually reach the door — with kit, on time, and without the stress of East London traffic or a surge-priced app? This guide answers exactly that.

01 / LOCATIONWhere exactly is Shoreditch Treehouse?

Shoreditch Treehouse is at 34 Charlotte Road, London EC2A 3PB (buzz Unit 5), on a characterful street in the creative heart of Shoreditch, on the City fringe where Hackney, Islington and the Square Mile meet. It is surrounded by independent cafés, design studios, bars and street art, a few minutes from both Old Street and Shoreditch High Street. That position is brilliant once you have arrived, but Charlotte Road is a Ultra-Low Emission street with timed weekday access restrictions, so the final approach by car rewards a driver who knows the local rules.

02 / THE SETTINGA loft up three flights

One quirk shapes every arrival here: the Treehouse sits on the third floor of a characterful Shoreditch building and is reached by stairs. That is part of its charm — you climb up out of the city bustle into a calm, leafy room — but it is worth knowing if you are bringing equipment, presentation kit or catering, and it is one more reason to arrive without also having dragged luggage across town. The adjoining Loft offers a cosy break-out space for smaller huddles. The point for arrival day is simple: travel light to the door, and let the space do the rest.

03 / STATIONSNearest stations and getting around

Public transport access is excellent, which is the reward for such a connected spot:

• Old Street (Northern line) is about a five-minute walk.
• Shoreditch High Street (London Overground) is about a six-minute walk.
• Liverpool Street (Elizabeth, Central, Circle, Metropolitan and mainline rail) is about nine minutes away.
• Mainline & Elizabeth line — Liverpool Street links directly across the city and out to Heathrow.

Buses run along Great Eastern Street and Old Street nearby. For getting around the city day to day the location is hard to better. The catch is the familiar one: superb when you are travelling light, considerably less so with boxes of materials, AV kit or a group arriving together after a flight.

04 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to Shoreditch Treehouse

Shoreditch Treehouse is reachable from every London airport, but the journeys — and how relaxed they are with kit or a group — vary. Being on the eastern, City side of London, it is closest to London City. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; London traffic has its own ideas.

From Heathrow

Heathrow is the gateway for most international visitors. The rail option is the Elizabeth line straight to Liverpool Street, then a short walk up to Charlotte Road. A direct Heathrow airport transfer by car removes the change entirely — a welcome thing after a long-haul flight — with the driver meeting you in arrivals after baggage reclaim and taking you across town to Shoreditch.

From the other airports

From Stansted, Luton and Gatwick, the rail routes all mean a fast train into a London terminus followed by a final leg across to Shoreditch. A door-to-door transfer keeps the whole thing to one car, one driver and one fixed price — which matters most when you are carrying kit or moving as a group.

The Treehouse is a calm room above a busy street. The trip there should feel just as unhurried.

05 / THE EASY WAYArriving for your event — train, Tube or private hire?

There is no single right answer. Travelling light and arriving solo for a workshop? Old Street or Shoreditch High Street are quick and close. A pre-booked private hire transfer tends to win when arrival matters most:

• You are bringing presentation kit, props, catering or materials for an away day or launch.
• You are coordinating a team or group who would value a saloon, executive car or MPV arriving together.
• You want a fixed fare known before you travel — no surge, no meter ticking in East London traffic.
• Your flight time is uncertain — a tracked driver simply adjusts and waits.

06 / NEARBYWhat's around Shoreditch Treehouse

Once your day is under way, one of London's most creative neighbourhoods is at the door:

• Old Street & Tech City — the start-up heart of London, all around.
• Boxpark & Brick Lane — street food, markets and bars a short walk east.
• Shoreditch street art — some of the city's best murals on the surrounding lanes.
• The City & Liverpool Street — the Square Mile a few minutes south for after-event dinners.
