Venue Information
he beautiful Clapham Grand is located on St.John's Hill directly opposite the High Street exit of Clapham Junction rail station. Originally a Victorian theatre, it has now been converted to a nightclub with modern facilities, although most of the original features such as elaborate plasterwork and stained glass windows remain intact. The venue can hold more than 1,000 people over 3 floors. For the Grand Cosplay Ball we will be using the ground floor and first floor balcony, with the top floor being transformed into an Aladdin's Cave-themed photography studio especially for our event.
Disabled Access
The ground floor is accessible for wheelchairs, but there is no disabled toilet access. Wheelchair users must be accompanied by a helper (charged at half price).
