MAGAZINE LONDON:

Magazine London is a state-of-the-art venue that can flex to meet the most ambitious ideas.

At 9,700 square metres, The Showground has an outdoor capacity of up to 7,000 people and uninterrupted views of the city skyline. 

From the floor-to-ceiling riverside views of Space 1, to the fully configurable ‘black box’ of Space 2, the building’s architecture reflects the industrial history of Greenwich. Built in 2019, the steel structure allows for vast and customisable use of the internal spaces, blending function with an uncompromisingly contemporary aesthetic of patinated steel, black OSB walls and polished concrete floors. 

The venue has been designed with ease of use in mind, incorporating the highest-quality technical infrastructure, staging and facilities. It can accommodate up to 10,000 people across its internal and external spaces, providing an unrivalled landscape for performances, awards dinners, conferences, exhibitions, filming, fashion and ticketed culture.

This iconic space seamlessly blends the rich legacy of the London railways with ultramodern design, offering a versatile event space that can accommodate up to 3,000 people.
