EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney)

Launched in September 2018, this self-styled ‘multi-arts space for the 21st century’ is an ambitious restoration of the formerly derelict Savoy Cinema originally built in the 1930s. Its slightly ungainly name is short for ‘Evolutionary Arts Hackney’, but the programming is trendy and accessible rather than too highfalutin. Featuring two atmospheric spaces – a 680-capacity seated theatre upstairs and a 1200-capacity standing-only concert hall downstairs – the venue is a popular destination for mid-level tours and nightlife events, hosting everything from Skepta’s club night Más Tiempo and Pitchfork London gigs to day festivals by Dialled In and regular nights by Deptford Northern Soul Club, Butch Please! and Dimitri From Paris.
