Printworks London

Located within the former printing facility for the Metro and Evening Standard newspapers, Printworks is a staggering 5,000 capacity licensed venue set within a 16-acre site in London's Docklands.

Supporting London's world-renowned cultural industries, Printworks will house a vibrant spectrum of events across arts, culture, fashion, music, film, food, immersive theatre, dance and more, as well as an in-house music events series.

This dramatic industrial setting comprises of six vastly diverse events spaces, arranged over multiple levels, with a labyrinth of interconnecting corridors and rooms. Benefiting from two fully sound-proofed 'Press Halls', a meticulous thought has been invested into every aspect of this project to preserve the venue's incredible heritage, including many of the former printing factories original features left on display and incorporated into the story of Printworks' next chapter.

Custom-designed production tailored to each event's needs, alongside the near limitless versatility of Printworks' cavernous spaces, will offer an immersive environment where possibilities are limited by the boundaries of imagination alone.

Operated by The Vibration Group, Printworks will be working with LWE and Broadwick Live to deliver an exciting and innovative programme of cultural, ticketed events as well as providing community rehearsal rooms to ensure the space is accessible and beneficial to local collectives and creative incentives of any scale at this interim project.

Printworks is leased by British Land, who are behind the Canada Water, master plan which will see the creation of a new urban centre on the Rotherhithe peninsula. Part of a regeneration project that is rapidly transforming the Docklands into a hub for culture and industry, the newly launched venue is also well timed to benefit from Night-Tube, located just five minutes walk from the Jubilee line.

The planning application for the temporary use of the Printworks as a culture, music and arts space is currently under consideration by Southwark Council and if approved, events would begin from January 2017.
