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.

February 2025First time at Woolwich Works for a children’s show. Very accommodating and kind staff. Will definitely be back to experience more theatre in the future.

April 2025My first visit (I hope of many), to see the Jay Rayner sextet. The venue was laid out in a jazz club style, so once you were in and seated it felt much more atmospheric but is a decent size space that I can imagine being used for many different types of events. Good bar and it looked like drinks could be ordered for the interval but I didn’t see anything that reminded me to do that! Generally a nice venue, clean and well organised.

March 2025Yesterday (23 March) I took my Mum for afternoon tea at the Woolwich Works Café. Please note that this is something that you need to book well in advance and can't just do on the day. The communication beforehand was excellent and they made sure about if we had any allergies. On the day, all the staff were really friendly, helpful and looked after us really well. The presentation and quality of the afternoon tea was excellent. We were given an area in the corner which had a very comfortable settee. Overall, a great experience - many thanks to Paul, Shereen and the rest of the café team for a great afternoon.

March 2025I went to the cafe for a planning and strategy session with my friend! I had a lovely lunch, a couple of coffees and a snack. The atmosphere there is relaxing and the staff are nice! We’ll definitely be back again to use the space. And catch the brunch menu!
