About Venue

London's ‘best new spot for culture’ according to Time Out, Woolwich Works opened in 2021 and is the perfect marriage of heritage and modern design.

Both historic and contemporary, grand and intimate: Woolwich Works boasts a series of newly restored, Grade II and II* listed buildings. The spaces retain many of their beautiful historic features but being a brand new restoration, they are also equipped with sleek modern touches and every state-of-the-art technical necessity.

With stunning views over the river, a bright, airy atmosphere throughout, and the ability to combine indoor and outdoor space, our flexible spaces are perfect for conferences, product launches, immersive experiences, away days, meetings, wedding receptions, parties and much more.

This ground floor space is one of our most adaptable rooms. Used for our smaller performances, it's perfect for dinners, parties and celebrations, and a great meeting space.

All four walls are finished in original exposed brick, with the short walls forming the canvas for subtle portraits of Eliza Adelaide Knight and Donald Adolphous Brown, whose stories the space celebrates. Discreet flexible track and spot lighting and an elegant timber floor complete the space. There are huge, arched sash windows down the side of the room that looks onto our courtyard, with an external door for direct access set in the middle. On the other side of the space is a door linking the room with our café-bar and Beanfeast above, and a private entrance from the riverside, perfect for events with guests arriving by boat.

The room is located close to gender neutral and accessible toilets. Similar in shape and size, Knight Gallery works well used in combination with Beanfeast for events where more than one space is desired.

I was a bit worried when I walked in. I'd heard the rumors of the great Brazil vs. America Coffee Trade War of '24, and the last thing I needed was to be caught in the crossfire. Would my cappuccino be subject to a 50% tariff? Would the barista be forced to accept payment in Brazilian real? The tension was thick, like a good espresso. But I was pleasantly surprised. The customer service was impeccable. There were no armed guards at the door checking for contraband beans. The coffee was fresh, bold, and thankfully, free of any new taxes. My latte, a symbol of international unity, was poured with a peaceful hand. I even had a stimulating conversation with a few of the professionals about some new ideas I'm taking back to the team. The most hilarious part of it all was when a new customer came in and started to pay with a single, perfectly ripe avocado. The barista just smiled and pointed at the "Cash & Card Only" sign, and a small victory for global trade was won. This cafe is a beacon of hope in a world torn apart by trade disputes and overpriced lattes.

This is an excellent place for neighbors to come and have some drinks and food. There is also the possibility of working here as there are enough tables. There is also some plans for online working (paying a quantity of money to use Internet). However, the tables are not cleaned enough. There are he cups from previous customers on them and some of the tables don't have sugar or salt inside the pods.

Excellent spot right by the river. Very well connected on the Elizabeth line making it very easy to access from central. Venue space can easily accommodate multiple stages with multiple bars as well. Went for the Fume BBQ festival which was fantastic venue to host there combining indoor and outdoor seating. 4 stars as they could accommodate more standing tables which could help with overcrowding in the outdoor venue area
