May 21, 20179 yr comment_10203 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 Report

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."
