Art café sessions in London.
Create freely, no experience needed.
A 2-hour free-flow session to paint, draw, and unwind at your own pace. Grab a seat from £11, bring your own materials or choose an activity from the art menu, and settle in with unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits.
£11 off-peak (Thu and Fri before 5pm), £15 to £17 at other times. Most people spend £18 to £24 with the All-in.
How it works
Free-flow sessions in our studio, for slowing down and making something just for the joy of it. Nobody's grading your work or telling you what to paint.

Common questions
What should I bring?
Just yourself. Choose an activity from the art menu when you book or when you arrive, and it comes with everything you need. Or bring your own project and supplies. Tea, coffee and biscuits are on us, and we give you a bag to take your piece home.
Can I reschedule?
Yes, up to 24 hours before your session. Inside 24 hours you can still move to another time on the same day at the same studio, but we can't offer a refund or a different date.
I'm booking for a group. Is there anything I need to know?
If you're 6 or more, please book together so we can seat you together. For larger groups, get in touch, a private hire might be a better fit.
Do I need any art experience?
Absolutely not. We actively welcome people who've never picked up a paintbrush. The whole point is to create without expectation.
What are the communal materials?
Every seat comes with the shelf of communal materials: pencils, colouring pencils, scissors, sharpeners and rulers, plus puzzles, games, colouring sheets and art books.
Can I bring my own materials?
Yes. Bring your own project and supplies and you just pay for your seat, with the communal materials free to use. Forgotten something? Ask your host, they'll do their best to help as we have some materials for sale. Please be mindful of the space your project takes up, especially when it's busy.
Do I have to pick an activity when I book?
No. Book your seat and choose from the art menu when you arrive if you'd rather. If you like to plan ahead, pick it online and we'll make sure it's ready for you, as activities can occasionally run out.
What changed on 1 October 2026?
Until then every session included watercolour, charcoal and pastels at one price, whether you used them or not. Now you pay for your seat, from £11, and add what you make. A seat plus the All-in costs the same as a session did before, and everything else is cheaper. If you booked before 1 October, your booking still covers your seat and the All-in (watercolour, oil pastels, soft pastels and charcoal), or you can redeem £7 towards anything else on the art menu.
