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.

Stonecutters
Almost twenty metres long, and 8.3m wide the Stonecutters Studio is our largest rehearsal studio. It occupies the north-east corner of the site, and has windows on three aspects.

Ropekeepers
Slightly wider than its adjoining studio, at 14.8m by 8.8m. Ropekeepers Studio is a well-proportioned, dual-aspect space.


Stonecutters and Ropekeepers studio can be one large space of 35 metres long – perfect for performances and private events. The studios are separated by a modern acoustic partition. The area above the partition is glazed up to the timber roof lining, which reflects the finish of the resilient studio floor. With a high, vaulted ceiling supported by original timber roof trusses, the space feels exceptionally generous. The rest of the walls are exposed brick, puncuated by mirrors, oak ballet barres and original timber sash windows.

The space is lit by glass factory lights, with technical power and facilities panels at either end. A PA system suitable for playback and light speech use is permanently installed in the room, which also includes an upright acoustic piano.

Access is via a lift or stairs adjacent to the ground floor café-bar, where there are also gender neutral and accessible toilets. Next to the studio there is a accessible shower and toilet, along with a smaller meeting room and our beautiful river-view celebration space, Beanfeast, making it ideal for multi-room events.

    Great for kids but also gives adults that feeling of nostalgia. Even better than it's free too. It's very light, airy and clean now thanks to the 13m renovation project.

    Woolwich print fair is a huge exhibition of top quality work that stretches the idea of a print to include some fascinating techinques. The curated hangs a far and away much more interesting than the offers from the galleries and represent some of the most exciting up and coming artists

    Woolwich Works provided an excellent venue for the ESOL network event. The facilities were well-equipped, the staff was accommodating, and the overall atmosphere was conducive to productive networking and collaboration. The venue's spacious layout and modern amenities enhanced the experience, making it a standout choice for such events. Highly recommended for future gatherings.

    Excellent venue and loved the seating arrangements which were a mix of tiered seating and small speakeasy style tables. The bar had a good range of drinks and a few bar snacks. I did notice a bit of rubbish about the place from the previous evening, which they could have cleared, but that’s being me being a bit fussy. Event staff were really welcoming and friendly.

    Such a lovely community space. Highly recommend to book a Sunday charity tour - it’s a great way to learn more about building’s history, get to know the volunteers and see all of the rooms
