Venues in Kwun Tong

Getting there

The Kwun Tong line runs along Kwun Tong Road and serves the area through two stations: Kwun Tong, closer to the east side of the industrial area and the waterfront, and Ngau Tau Kok, closer to the west side towards Kowloon Bay. From either station, cross Kwun Tong Road towards the harbour and you are in the industrial blocks.

Buses and minibuses along Kwun Tong Road and Hoi Yuen Road are useful if you are coming from Hong Kong Island, Tseung Kwan O or the New Territories. Some industrial buildings have car parks, but space and charges vary, so check with the host before driving.

What venues are like here

Most venues are in industrial buildings, and units are generally larger than commercial-building spaces in Mong Kok or Tsim Sha Tsui. Fit-outs range from plain to fully themed. Party rooms often have karaoke, game consoles and mahjong tables, and some have BBQ or hot pot equipment. Photo and dance studios tend to be open, high-ceilinged spaces.

Newer office towers have added meeting rooms and small event spaces in recent years. Access at night and on holidays can differ a lot between industrial and office buildings, so read the venue page before you book.

What it's good for

• Larger birthdays and gatherings: plenty of space for groups of ten to twenty.
• Team events: the area is full of offices, so colleagues can walk over after work.
• Shoots: high ceilings and open floors suit portrait and product photography.

If your preferred slot is taken, try nearby Kowloon Bay, Ngau Tau Kok or Yau Tong.

Practical tips

• Allow time for lifts: they are slowest after office hours and on weekend afternoons.
• Give delivery riders full details: write the building, floor and unit, or meet them downstairs.
• Stock up on the way: there are malls and supermarkets near both stations.
• Mind the volume: neighbouring units may still be working in the evening.
• Finish with a walk: Kwun Tong Promenade is a pleasant stretch before heading back to the MTR.
