Guide to House of Detention: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Set beneath Clerkenwell at 12 Sans Walk, London EC1R 0AS, House of Detention is a distinctive live event venue with a gripping past. The former Victorian prison’s vaulted brick corridors and atmospheric cells create an unforgettable backdrop for immersive theatre, site-specific performances, edgy comedy nights, and pop-up music and art. If you are searching for House of Detention tickets, this historic space delivers intimate energy and striking character you will not find in a traditional auditorium.

Expect close-up performances, moody lighting, and acoustics that make whispers carry. Producers lean into the architecture, guiding audiences through tunnels and chambers as stories unfold room to room. Its central Clerkenwell location places you near Farringdon for easy transport, plus plenty of pubs and restaurants to round out the night before or after the show.

Because this is an underground, heritage site, plan for stairs and uneven flooring, arrive a bit early to get your bearings, and check event-specific guidance on accessibility, age limits, and photography. For a smooth purchase, flexible seat options, and the 100% Buyer Guarantee, fans should buy House of Detention tickets from Vivid Seats.
