Events
At Essential Living, our London apartments offer more than just luxury renting. Residents can enjoy free events like rooftop BBQs, yoga, and workshops to help you connect with your neighbours.
We bring our buildings to life with a curated programme of events in our communal spaces. Our events are carefully selected to bring residents together, provide year-round entertainment and build London’s strongest communities.
Break the ice with your neighbours at our seasonal mega-parties or learn a new skill in our regular complimentary workshops. From intimate wine-tastings to laid-back craft classes, we tailor each building's events to those that live there. This ensures an inclusive event calendar where there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The best part? All of our events are free.
Whether you live solo or share with others, our events make it easy to meet neighbours and form genuine friendships - all without leaving your building.

Work out from home
Wellbeing, both physical and mental, is a core theme to life in our developments. Our on-site gyms and rooftop communal spaces play host to weekly fitness classes including Yoga and HIIT. All absolutely free to residents.
Workshops
Creativity comes alive in our resident workshops. From pizza-making and cocktail classes to floral design and home décor sessions, these events are all about learning something new while meeting your neighbours in a relaxed setting.
Seasonal Parties
Each season brings something to look forward to. Our Spring Soirées, Summer Rooftop BBQs, Halloween and Christmas parties fill the calendar with food, music, and community spirit - the perfect way to celebrate the year together.
Social Clubs
Our resident clubs are where shared interests turn into real friendships. Whether it’s joining a book club, film night, parents group or creative circle, these regular meetups give residents a chance to connect beyond everyday life.
Social Activities
From Saturday breakfasts and happy hours to pub quizzes and themed nights, our social events bring everyone together. They’re a simple way to unwind, meet new people, and make the everyday a little more social.
Charitable events
We like to give back and so do our residents. Not only are our resident events fun, but often they’re a chance to support the local community through charitable initiatives.
Throughout the year we bring the community together to support worthy causes, from collecting food for nearby food banks to full-blown fundraisers for a charity of choice.
Competitions
A little friendly competition keeps life fun. From baking challenges and Easter egg hunts to photo contests and our popular Pet of the Month (and Year) awards, there’s always something to get involved in. Whether you’re in it to win or just for the laughs, our competitions bring everyone together with a healthy dose of community spirit.
