Question 6

Who's idea was Outernet?

Accepted Answer

Outernet was conceived and created by Laurence Kirschel, a visionary and philanthropic leader in the UK's property industry.

As the sole founder and inventor of the Outernet brand and concept, Laurence had an ambitious vision to reimagine how people experience media and culture in the physical world.

Long before launch, the plan centred on building a global network of connected, city-centre destinations where music, art, film and digital storytelling could coexist in a single, immersive environment.

Years of planning, land assembly and development (spanning more than a decade) laid the foundations in London’s West End, at the intersection of Tottenham Court Road and Denmark Street.

The concept fused cutting-edge screen technology with live performance, restoring the area’s historic music heritage while introducing a new kind of always-on, public digital canvas.

When Outernet London opened in November 2022, it introduced the largest digital exhibition space in Europe, built around world-leading immersive screens and a programme spanning music, culture and entertainment.

The district was designed not just as a venue, but as a cultural platform, blending physical and digital worlds to create shared experiences at scale.

That original vision has since been realised. In just a few years, Outernet has become the UK’s most visited cultural attraction, welcoming millions into a new form of cultural space and setting the blueprint for future global expansion.

Who owns Outernet?

Accepted Answer

Outernet is owned by Outernet London Limited. The site was originally developed by Consolidated Developments Ltd a British property development and placemaking company known for transforming London’s Soho into an area where people want to work, live and socialise.

Outernet has also restored the iconic Denmark Street, the birthplace of British music, which was threatened by the development of Crossrail.

Question 9

Can I bring my dog to Outernet London?

Accepted Answer

The answer to this question is nuanced! It's important to understand that:

Outernet London is not a single destination - it's a district (area) made up of lots of different businesses
Many of the businesses in the district (eg HERE our underground music venue or Chateau Denmark our hotel) will not allow access to dogs who are not guide or assistance dogs
However there are "public realm" areas as part of the district and our giant screens are in those public realm areas
Dogs are allowed in the public realm areas most of the time
Sometimes an advertiser will take over the screen content for a period of time and also supplement this with other activity (eg promo or event staff interacting with people or demoing a product etc). We call this an "activation" and it is theoretically possible that an advertiser will decide no dogs are allowed into the areas nearest the screens where the activation takes place. But in our experience to date this is unusual and most advertisers will allow dogs
The giant screens are sometimes (but not very often) closed for private events in which case neither dogs nor members of the public will be able to gain access
