Description
THE PURPLE OWL - WANDSWORTH TOWN
Wandsworth Town’s new arts lounge and creative experience space, The Purple Owl is where Londoners come to slow down, switch off, and reconnect with themselves, each other, and their creativity.
Step inside and you’ll find a bright, leafy, design-led lounge blending art studio energy with café culture and a relaxed neighbourhood bar feel. Whether you're dropping in to work with a coffee, meeting friends for cocktails, or looking to unwind with a hands-on craft session, The Purple Owl is built for inspiration, comfort, and connection.
By day, the space is calm and airy, with super-fast WiFi, soft lounge seating, and a café serving fresh salads, pasta, pastries and speciality coffee. When evening arrives, the lights soften, the bar comes alive with craft beers, cocktails and wines, and the lounge becomes a warm, creative hub to unwind in. If the sun is out, the leafy front garden is the perfect escape.
At the heart of The Purple Owl is our creative studio. Guests can drop in for two-hour craft sessions, choosing from pottery painting, clay moulding, canvas painting or T-shirt design - no experience needed, all materials ready on arrival. For those who want something a little more guided, our artist-led workshops welcome beginners and seasoned creatives alike, offering the chance to learn new skills in a relaxed, social setting.
Weekends take on a life of their own, with live music every Friday and a rotating mix of vinyl nights, DJs and live music at the weekends. Kids (before 7pm) and dogs are always welcome, and we keep plenty of space for walk-ins-so you’re free to make The Purple Owl your local creative hideaway.
Whether you're here to paint, work, celebrate, sip, or simply breathe out for a while, The Purple Owl is your new home for creativity in Wandsworth Town.
