National Centre For Circus Arts

The space is nice and the whole idea of little kids and parents learning circus arts is very good. Some staff try their best but we had bad experience with administration and most of the staff in the kids lessons are not really engaged with the kids. Trying to be funny does not work if you're really not supporting these small students. One instructor even asked us during the class to move from away the trapeze so that she can show something to another kid, who seemed more engaged. Shortly after that we decided not to renew the class enrollment for another term. 00

Really talented and supportive teachers, beautiful facility

Extremely disappointed with this company and their customer service. Having booked a Circus School Experience with them for two people at a total price of £140 I was unable attend on the day due to all trains from my home town to London being cancelled. Even though this situation was completely out of my control, the manager of the school was adamant that my partner and I could not receive a refund or attend on another date. Essentially the response I had was "tough luck" with little or no appreciation of the amount of money spent and the fact that the experiences were bought as a birthday gift. Truly the worst customer service I have ever experienced and I would urge anyone thinking of booking with this company to think again as you or a family/friend about could potentially end up very out of pocket!

The administration of courses at the National Centre for Circus Arts is very poor, in my opinion. I've tried raising my concerns on several occasions but the responses I received were dismissive. The teaching is good but the place just lost its magic. I'm disappointed enough to go to another circus school. Luckily, that's easy in London!

Fact: At Circus Space wonderful things happen.

Open since the early 1990s in what used to be a derelict electric light station, exceptionally talented students train for their degree in Circus Arts. Luckily the prestigious school has also found ways to let the public join in the fun, which is why TSL suggest signing up to an acrobatic or aerial course to replace the gym membership...

Located in the old Shoreditch power station, this is an interesting venue dedicated to teaching circus arts to people of all ages. The atmosphere is creative and interesting and there's always something going on. The tuition is excellent for the price, but it's unfortunate that the courses are so competitive.
