Guest DominicSp Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hello Can help me with a question? I'm hoping to sign a lease on a property in London which I wish to open as a small theatre - the space is in the basement and accessed by a single staircase 1055mm wide. Assuming we have the usual signage and extinguishers in place - how many people people am I allowed in the basement? Are there guidelines nationally for these this or do they differ from local council to council? Many thanks, Dominic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 If only one exit, regardless of width, then you are restricted to 60 persons. This is your guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/422195/9294_Small_Mediumt_v2.pdf "At least two exits should be provided if a room/area is to be occupied by more than 60 persons."
