óla! hej! hello!

Foreign Affairs is based at the Rose Lipman Building in Hackney, east London.

Built in the 1960s, the iconic building is located in the heart of the De Beauvoir Estate and is home to a bustling community of creative organisations.

We love the building so much that we host many of our productions and events here, and the majority of our training programmes and workshops.

See details below on how to find us whether you’re here to watch a show or take part in a workshop.

Directions

Please use the main entrance by Batch Baby, the coffee shop at the Rose Lipman Building on De Beauvoir Road. Arrive a little early and treat yourself to one of the best coffees in east London – it’s worth it!

If Batch Baby happens to be closed, don’t worry. Use the side entrance marked ‘Rose Lipman Community Centre’ (you’ll find it just to the left on De Beauvoir Road).

We’ve added a couple of images of the building to help you spot the two entrances more easily.

Once there, buzz ‘Function Hall’ to be let in. We’ll have plenty of signs to guide you, so you’ll be in the right place in no time.
