Reviews of Tobacco Dock

S. G.

We visited the Taste of London event in November and we were very impressed. The organisation and the health and safety measures were clearly a priority there. Well planned event with great variety of areas to explore and enjoy. From live music to menu testing events, bars, food market stool and food retailers. Just Fantastic

T. G.

Visited for our daughter's graduation from Queen Mary's University London. A well organised yet busy event within The Dock with access to the facilities. A great location for the graduation with a drink & street food included. The staff were all very friendly and the facilities were all very clean, despite significant numbers attending the graduation ceremony over 3 'sittings'. It was good to be able to wander and have a look around the Dock, with several old ships on the canal side.

O. S.

Absolutely stunning venue!!! Super large has its own chick, outdoors space with view on old sailing ship. They host plenty of events, I've attended Junction 2 and I loved the setup and stage, lighting setup.

Visited Tobacco Dock for the Taste of London event. A very accessible venue with excellent transport links, with bus stops minutes away. Step free access.There are rest rooms available along with hand sanitizers. There is a designated smoking/vaping area. Masks are not mandatory. Upon entry you must show your covid pass. The individual stall holders are really friendly and there is free tasting available, however be aware that the food is very expensive and the portions are small. I expected more stalls with a wider range of foods from around the world, so it's a little underwhelming. Average amount of vegan choice of foods. If you want to support local small businesses then it's definitely worth a visit. Lots of alcoholic & non alcoholic independent retailers, and ample seating areas. There is quite a lot of gorgeous soft chewy biscuits, brownies etc. I was so impressed with the stall holders friendliness, and indepth knowledge about their foods. Overall it's a good experience, and a great day out to support small businesses.

D. M.

Really cool venue with plenty of atmosphere. Large open spaces inside and out with a variety of different spaces available from old vaults to spacious rooms. I was here for a beer festival, and it was very well organised and all the staff, including security were pleasant and friendly. Would enjoy coming back to this cool space.

N. S.

Would be nicer if the heating were turned on. One of the coldest days this winter so far and they had minimal heating. Venue too small for a graduation ceremony. We could not see the graduates without looking at the video screens. This would be a great venue for open air celebrations in good warm weather.

R. R.

It's a great space with lovely outside space too. I went to a music event there and there were lots of different rooms to explore, record fair and food trucks. I'd imagine it's a great venue no matter what is going on there as its spacious with plenty to see.

J. K.

I have visited 1920 party. It was well organised event and things were running reasonably smooth. Food was delivered warm and in good time. Dessert wasn't nice at all. Plate of selection of mini brownies which weren't nice at all and some tiny pavlova. I have few remarks: I was hoping for more 1920 entertainment. The live singers were amazing and I wouldn't mind if the theme went throughout the whole evening. Also I did expect more cabaret style entertainment, but apart from couple of short dance performances there wasn't anything else. Around 10 all the staff started clearing glasses of the tables regardless if they had a drink in or not. My glass was literally taken out of my hand. It has been explained that they don't have a licence for after 9, but then why don't you have plastic flutes from beginning and forget glass. People were extremely upset as they paid good money for their drinks and they all have been taken away when they were at dance floor. Music has turned into R&B from 80 and 90 after dinner which in any other party would be great. Space and decorations were lovely.

M. L.

Amazing venue for some of the top shows in London. Perfect for the London Tattoo Convention and Taste of London food festival.

K. D.

The best day of my life ❤ seen Charlotte de Witte 3rd time and she put signicher on my flag thank you for the best festival 😀

A. G.

Very versatile space. Have been to everything from a tech conference to a meat festival here.

S. E.

Taste of London - food festival, Brilliant event, Will visit again. We arrived on our art bikes and the reaction was amazing!!

B. M.

Lovely location and great place for a themed party - visited here for a gin festival Junipooloza

R. E. (. D. R.

Very interesting place I love the ship there very different! I love the cobblestone pavement really gives a nice look to the overall place, I love the energy from the guy called Dee, his definitely the type of employer anyone would want representing the company! Overall great location great place and great energy!

T. 9.

Pretty nice and cozy place, atmosphere is alright and quite cool since there's an ice skating rink inside also. Food is alright nothing great, the fries were really good. Service is alright too, not exceptional but not too bad either

C. B.

Tobacco Dock & Meatopia 2021 Best couple ever

N. M.

Very nice and trendy venue! Been the for a corporate event and just loved it. The space is very functional and well organized. Considering London’s weather it would be nice to take care with the low temperature outside the rooms. Clockroom could also have a quicker logistic.

E.

Visited this events venue for the third and last day of "Meatopia" barbecue and craft beer festival. The space is so great! Extremely spacious, lots of different little areas, and tons of great food. Will definitely be back for next years festival.

F. R. M. (.

Waaaao! Is what i think! Impresionant place. I think you must need to go and try it!

a. p.

Huge characterful venue which hosts a raft of great events

L. A.

Here for Taste of London. It's a good venue space that lends itself well to a variety of events. Facilities are good (from an attendee perspective) and it's easy to get to.

J. T.

Great environment. Lots of heritage and personality. Lots of space over x2 floors and a canal/river running along side. I worked at the EGX event April 2018 and really liked the place. It makes for a Great summer venue but I would be concerned about the heating during winter months. Truly is a great place.

S. G.

Excellent events venue full of history. Lots of various private and public events regularly being held: from food fairs to conferences. Very friendly and helpful personnel: from security and catering to reception and management.

O. H.

Nice a big spaces , beautiful architecture and easy transport links . Harbour was pretty . Went for meatopia so was ideal for the ventilation with smoke . Staff nice and helpful and Found some little gems of food stalls . Food was amazing.

H. W.

Visited here for the halal food festival. It is a very nice historical site which hosts events. Lots of space inside and outside. I would recommend and visit and I would visit again.

T. T.

Went to the Halal food festival, nice feel to the place but felt it was a little crowded. The staff were friendly and helpful. The car park opposite is good but it's not cheap.

C.

Amazing venue been many times for drumcode event. So many different rooms, loads of bars, you never sesm to queue to long for drinks. The underground carpark space is unreal must visit for dance event here. Best in London i say for a venue

U. R. O.

Great venue, great experience. Main room feels a bit overrun but the event organiser/security team handle it well

O. A.

Lovely halls ideal for events like graduation. Clean facility, well lite and observes all compulsory safety guidelines.

A. H.

It’s a Grade 1 listed building, built in the early 18th century. This building used for tobacco storage but now days it’s used for various types of events. Worth of visit the site. Thanks 😊

D. S.

Such a great venue. We were attending Meatopia, and this facility is absolutely ideal. Loads of space, bags of character.

K. P.

Pretty cool venue. Have just been for ice skating in the winter, so not sure what the space looks like in the summer. Rink unfortunately a bit small, but less crowded than many other ice skating locations, or so I’m told, and offers a nice view. There is a downstairs space with a bar and some food options. Super cozy. Had the fondue, which absolutely hit the spot after over an hour ice skating in the cold.

i.

A venue with character,rich in history,with many rooms of all sizes split on 2 levels,glass walls,courtyards,wooden beams,granit pillars,2 loading bays,on-site crew...style,space and convenience,home of the "Tatoo convention"and"Bike shed show".

K. G.

Brilliant Bike Shed Show, just enjoy! A real laid back vibe With State of the art engineering crashes into art, view the results here.

T. A. L.

A truly unique venue that we are always delighted to be working at. Installed our Numerator Table Centres here over the weekend and it was a pleasure as always.

E.

I went there for the halal food festival. Really worth it. You had unlimited options I couldn't decide what to get. It was amazing that I didn't have to worry if it was halal or not. I'll definitely go there again next year. I had juicy Lucy from stakehouse Then got ice cream from iroll Then had a drink. I forgot the shop but it was rose, mint, lime

D. S.

Great venue, with good ventilation!

C. R.

It's the location were is made The London Tattoo Convention, each october, you will find the best best tattoo artists in the world and find all you need for your tattoo shop. Beside you will find a variete of people that all in the same place. Food and drinks are available in the location.

P. M.

Interesting event venue, with lots of smaller rooms setup in a kind of village shop style. Was there for the London Craft Beer Festival, so each shop housed a different brewery. Large opens spaces to compliment the intimate smaller shop type rooms.

D. K.

Amazing space, been there during Taste of London festival , great atmosphere and helpful venue staff , gets quite cold during the evening's though , as parts of the venue are not protected from the elements.

P. K.

Spacious and impressive venue. DLR stop is a bit of a walk but worth the calorie burning 5 minute trek from the station (especially when the weather outside is sunny). The setup was well managed and waiters/waitresses were very friendly

J. E. D.

Well presented venue with lots of options for catering. Spacious and modular, highly recommended for anyone looking to hire out a large venue for any potential event.

M. R.

Have attended the TaSte London festival here in Dec 2021 and also attended the graduations for Queen Mary's University in January 2022.

j. b.

Grade I Listed former early 19th.Century tobacco, wine and brandy bonded warehouse with historical associations including a misguided and disastrous 1990's short-lived shopping mall conversion. Currently utilised as a convention, exhibition, events and product-launch venue. There be no entry permitted unless attending a specific function unless to hang about outside to admire the Listed original security wall or a stroll along the canal remnant front.

S. F.

Had my graduaation here, the venue was very niec but the rooms themselves was really cold,

J. Y.

A lovely place to run doesn't matter if it's day or night (as it's well lighted here). I tend to do my intervals speed session for my run here as it comes with a nice bits of long straight stretch of roads. There's a canal along the way which you get to view the Shard from far away. Really recommended to just come down here for some fresh relaxing air

J. A.

Have worked events here numerous times. It's a great space. Really nice venue to work or for play!

D. C.

Came here for the Taste of London event where some of London's best and most interesting restaurants come together! Also have workshops and demonstrations

E. G.

Very good ice skating experience and good customer service

T. D.

Spacious multipurpose venue. Highly suitable for music events. Venue has lots of indoor areas while still really close to the outdoor for fresh air

T. A. L.

A truly unique venue that we are always delighted to be working at. Installed our Numerator Table Centres here over the weekend and it was a pleasure as always.

A. W.

Great venue for corporate events with friendly staff, good food and plenty of space

I. D.

Always the best Tattoo Convention - have been to several other around Europe and Asia. Maybe Australia can compare. But yeah definitely my favorite.

M. L. P.

Hope to be back in June. Leading restaurants and Chefs. (Cyrus Todiwala, Martin Morales..) (So many Italian cheeses won Awards this year like Montasio... and gorgonzola is most loved also by famous cheesemongers here)

J. S.

Spacious venue, many areas for different activities, great music, hosted a beautiful decorated themed party.

C. C.

I've visited the place for a tattoo convention. It's spacey and easy to find. There's also a parking nearby right across the street.

P. C.

I want there long but the venue is clean and tidy. I was there last when it was a bar. Great as an exhibition space. Or a wedding.

M. R.

Visited this place three times for the Halal Food Festival and enjoyed the venue each time. Large spaces, open areas and good facilities overall. Usable for all types of events, easy to find and close to travel links etc.

A. Q.

Excellent exhibition space and host to the annual Taste of London Christmas Edition. Well presented and spacious with exceptionally clean facilities. A good space to enjoy this festive event.

M.

Awesome venue for a trade show or music event despite a slightly odd layout and entrance policies

M. C.

Visited for London Craft Beer Festival and loved all the wee nook and cranies. Great place even just have a walk about and soak up all the history of the place!

S. M.

Have been to Tobacco Dock for a few events, more recently Meatopia. Excellent venue always well planned out with all necessities.

N. B.

Had amazing time at the Halal Food Festival, so many cuisines and all tasted amazing.

D. P.

Nice place for a business expo. Could do with some refreshment areas though; café, coffee shop, etc

B. F.

Nice event space. There was an issue with the payment machines and at time they could only accept cash. The staff outside was very helpful directing us to the correct entrance.

J. Y.

A lovely place to run doesn't matter if it's day or night (as it's well lighted here). I tend to do my intervals speed session for my run here as it comes with a nice bits of long straight stretch of roads. There's a canal along the way …

T. L. n.

This is a fantastic venue. I’ve attended a few different events here and they’ve worked really well. Looks really cool and there are lots of different rooms hosting different things to see.

I. D.

Perfect to spend time with your friends,there were a lot of different activities around: food festival,ice rink and e.t.The quality of drinks and snacks are perfect!! But you have to pre- oder

M. S.

Went here a few years ago for Hyper Japan. Was a good venue but security were useless. There was an onscreen Vocaloid video concert and people were stood on seats blocking peoples views. When i asked security to ask them to sit down as we literally couldn't see anything they said it's nothing to do with them and he completely ignored me. Also the security on the door were very rude and took far too long processing people into the venue. There was also very poor sign posting Nd queue organisation for the ticket office and which queue to join.

J. E.

I visited the Tattoo Convention here. Great location, lovely part of London and easy access using public transport.

A. Z.

Lovely and beautiful location. Couldn't fault the night I had there.

S. M.

Went here for Meatopia 2018. Great venue. Really cool vibe to the place.

J. B.

Awesome venue - couldn’t have thought of anywhere better suited for a beer festival. Can’t wait to return

M. B.

I visited Tobacco dock during wintertime when skylight has a lovely but small ice rink placed on top of the building. For £10 you can skate for as long as you want and enjoy a semi beautiful view of eastern London.

S. P.

Great venue for events. I went to London Craft Beer Festival here very good set up. A bit hot though.

M. B.

The Dock building has been taken over for corporate events but the canals are abound with wildlife and very interesting follow the canals and they rake you to a vantage point whereby you see the river, tower bridge and remembrance garden wher you can sit and see the traffic on the river.

D. B.

Was here for Meatopia over the weekend. Without a doubt the best events location in London!

M. R.

Been coming here for 6 years now. Really good venue

Z.

Beautiful space, incredible architectural integrity. It has preserved a very 'old London' vibe and is truly intriguing to walk through. I adore the wooden beams and the view from the stairs, which also opens the view of the basement area and rest of the floor. Magnificent.

J. A.

Have worked events here numerous times. It's a great space. Really nice venue to work or for play!

V. C.

First time for the Company's Xmas party. Remembers the Covent Garden's Apple Market. Dunno how this place looks during the rest of the year but it was great.

M.

Very nice Venue for events lots of space n rooms

T. F.

Been to the Winter Taste Festival here three times, had a great day every time. The space is clean and easy to navigate amd lends itself to this type of event excellently

F. K.

Amazing location for a conference. The staff was super nice too. Been there for the Polymer Summit 2016.

G. S.

Lovely location for an event or conference. Great architecture but if the weather is hot it does become extremely unconformable.

A. F.

I visited Tobacco Dock for Lululemon's Sweatlife festival. I was surprised how big and bright the venue is. Great amenities and different rooms in terms of size and layout. The open roof make you feel like you're almost outside. Good tube / train connection.

T. S.

Good venue. Big space. Quirky historical setting.

B. P.

Was a Hyper Japan event,expected more but we had fun

i. h.

Lovely place, great for small conventions, went their for hyper Japan and egx rezzed, real nice and comfortable place not too be or small.

F. C.

Lovely area, clean but vibey 👍

J. V.

Great place. I came here for London Tattoo Convention. Large and spacious venue. Stylish and inspiring.

B. L.

The place looks nice from the outside. I have not been inside. Does have nice surrounding area, perfect for discrete functions. If I was able to go inside I'd be able to give a more accurate rating and review. Therefore I'll stick with 3 stars.

D. E.

Fantastic trade show venue on the east side of London.

D. T.

Second time I've been to the Tobacco Dock, it's a wonderful event venue and easily accessible - two major marketing events there and not had a single complaint about anything.

H.

Nice venue for a group, food is decent. Service is a little slow when they're busy, but the staff are friendly and helpful.

K. A. B.

Hyper Japan Christmas Experience at Tobacco Dock was truly superb. Such a great venue and good spacious surroundings. Loved every second!

D.

Large venue that you can hire to hold business events and weddings

J. S.

Trendy events venue close to St Katherine's Dock love

P. A. H.

Very nice and suitable location for conferences.

A. L.

Massive venue, great party place!

j. r.

Beautiful building lovely landscape outside and cool ships on the dock

m. p.

It's a massive place with completely different environments.

A. B.

Junipalooza 2021, so good to be back, congratulations Emile and Olivier for a fantastic event!

S. B.

Hidden gem for events Its a beautiful location

D. P.

Great place. And loads and loads of activities throughout the year. Highly recommend to anyone.

C. L.

A very ultra cool and functional space to host any event that one's heart desires and, please invite me over if you organise one, the best venue for killer parties!

J. P.

Great versitile venue for events. Really nice well maintained building that houses a wide range of events

E. G.

Very good ice skating experience and good customer service

M. S.

Want fun, good food, and a great time....... GO, go 🚶‍♂️ 👏 💪 🙌

D. Y.

Quality venue with main large open rooms and smaller niche rooms.

S. C.

Went there for our Xmas do brilliant location and venue best Xmas do to date

N. H.

Beautiful historical place to see.....really calm and feels like another world.....Great river view

T. M.

Visited Junapaloza - the annual gin festival at Tobacco Dock. Great, laid back atmosphere and easy transport links.

A. L.

the bike shed show was really good would go again

J. T.

Great venue, ideal for exhibitions. Loads of large and small spaces, with its own bar and room for mobile caterers. Came here for the Tattoo Convention and had a blast. Took ages to walk around and still not sure we covered everything.

C. W. I.

This is an excellent and an interesting venue. The building is an architectural gem, perfectly combining the original features with proudly displayed remedial works and bold new renovations. The event, the food, the staff and the building were all superb. There’s even two masted ships outside next to the canal. Rusting metal hulks, but impressive nonetheless.

m. d.

Been there today for the bike shed show Nice location lots of space and easy to reach is 5 min walk from overground station

J. B.

Tabacco Docks is in London and a lot of events take place there. Over the weekend 15th and 16 July there was a Japanese Market, it's called Hyper Japan.It's a lot of fun with lots of stalls. I recommend it.

L. M.

It's time as a shopping centre has turned this former dock into a truly unique exhibition space. Really nice and versatile location for an event.

A. B.

E1 is an 🆎Fab club, with great house music and fantastic staff!

D. J.

Went there for a custom bike exhibition and was amazed at what they had

D. S.

I was there for a large-scale event and was impressed by the architecture, which provides a whole new event experience and makes it possible to get many people moving at the same time without the major traffic jams that occur at individual stations. The staff was polite and extremely courteous, but the entrance as such was to be assessed negatively. there should be more entrances here, or the preliminary checks should be better structured.

K. “. C.

This was a phenomenal facility! I was there for a conference. The staff was extremely helpful and very present. You didn't have to go looking for them. They had special staff members for patrons under 18. There was a first aid area, although I can't comment about it much, because I didn't need to use it. They had various food merchants to cater to anyone's taste and dietary needs. Prices for food and beverages (including alcohol) were not inflated which was a surprise! The various conference rooms were great. The seating was a little tight side to side, but plenty of space between the rows, in some of the rooms. However, I will not fault the venue for this as MANY people were there. Staff tried to make sure as many people could listen to the lectures as safely possible. Getting there is relatively easy, with the Wapping Station about a 5min walk. My hotel was only about a 15min walk. I will definitely go back next year, if the conference is held there again.

R. H.

Great venue and open for a few months

s. S. N.

Nice and beautiful venue.

j. k.

Fantastic venue. Got great atmosphere to it. Attended Bike-shed

A. B. H.

Been a few times now still a great beer fest venue

t.

Great setting. The bike shed show is superb

g. b.

Went for a food festival and loved the ships outside and industrial looking venue

l. n.

Beautiful and large studios/amazing arts and design too

A. m. M.

Came here for the tattoo convention, huge place which you can literally get lost in, obviously the type of venue makes the place what it is. But honestly the best tattoo convention ever. Only downfall is the prices of drinks, £6 a pint and only excepting tokens. The place itself is superb, lots of bars, areas to eat, chill and observe. Area outside is nice also. Will be coming again next year.

D. D.

Really good location and a fun place to hangout with friends. A bit expensive on the drinks and there's very few options in the food menu which is a bit disappointing.

D. B.

Bike shed this year was great, nice atmosphere sunny day and so many bikes

L. C.

A fun space and venue, hosting a variety of interesting and engaging events. Wonderful views of a modern London skyline and a quirky internal layout. Location and parking can be a bit of a problem but otherwise great

A. M.

Went to the food festival and facilities were great. Staff/security were nice and helpful. Toilets were in a good clean state. There is a car park next to this venue but not sure if is owned by the same place. I would avoid this if you have larger car as it has very narrow curbs which can easily scratch car/alloys if you don't pay attention.

G. H.

Great event location, the open feel stops it being like every other stuffy conference centre and hotel around London. It's easily accessible and has lots or space for private meetings or quiet time while you get some done.

N.

Great venue. However for the capacity it holds I was very surprised at the lack of building toilets so I the need for portaloos. Also the poor ventilation in the carpark. As it is such a big venue the wait for entry was very long but the staff are friendly, short waits at the bar and has food and lockers too. There's plenty of space to cool down or take a break from it all as well. All in all it's one of my favorite locations for music events.

N. B.

Very nice venue where I got to enjoy Convergence!

А. D.

A piece of both history and festivity. A lot of different events each year

t.

As venues go, this one is excellent. It has character, but is comfortable and easy to navigate around. There are many rooms of different sizes, and pleasant courtyards. Two nearby overground stations, and a car park (which is expensive and needs to be booked in advance).

T.

Visited few times here. It has inside and outside space available. Open spaces can be use in lovely weather. Suitable for small or medium event. Beautiful location, just next to canal and residential area. Shops, restaurants, petrol stations are in walking distance. Nearest station is Wapping and there are bus service available as well.

J. D.

Great venue for events! Have been to a couple and had nothing but a good experience.

J. P.

I was there for a fintech conference. The place is open and looks quite nice. However the heating, because of the huge space, doesn't manage to heat properly, meaning that it is cold inside, so bring your jacket. Also bathrooms are very basic.

A. B.

I've been to two different shows here and loved them both (London Tattoo Convention and Custom motorcycle show). A real unusual place for a show as it is on two levels with different rooms of different sizes (rather than one big hall), but it works SO well. Have spoke to others who have been to other events here using just one or two rooms - and all thought it a great place. If you are booking an event - give this place a look. If you are going to an event here - it should be good!

T. 2.

Taste London Food Festival was really good!

R. A.

Lovely place to go for a stroll. Got the canal and two boats if you can get inside its lovely. Got different floor I enjoyed the make of the building and architecture. Also river Thames is close by and shadwell basin and boat club for rowing and kayaking.

N. K. (.

Went here for Halal food festival, there are free parking around the area on Sundays. As a market venue the place is nice and big, I can imagine it being used for a function on a good day, however the venue is not completely covered from the weather. There are plenty of spots for getting some great photo shots. Suitable for a unique wedding or events venue.

L. C.

Great venue for corporate events

M. S.

Hart to find the entrance, but lovely nonce your in!

J. H.

Went for a day party, good venue with multiple rooms/areas. One area was held in the car park.

C. G.

Nice events venue for small to medium scale events. Lovely Victorian architecture with a number of spaces surrounding an airy courtyard. Transport links are OK if you live in London but it's not close to any of the major terminals. There's also a lack of shops and eateries in the local area which is a bit of a shame.

L. M.

Amazing venue for events!

M. W.

A venue with character hosting the Bike Shed event every year. Great location. Food pricey! Low cost car/bike parking right opposite. River walk on doorstep. We have always enjoyed our day at the Shed!

D. W.

Was there for an AutoCAD conference. The venue was lovely. Although it was a hot day (28 degrees) the staff tried their best to keep the place cool, with air conditioning units in most of the lecture halls. The food was delicious and drinks were available all day. The staff were friendly when dealing with quiries and overall, the place was fantastic.

S. R.

Awesome location, great Service, famous Spot in London.

p. i. g.

Visited the Bike Shed London 2017 show. Venue exceeded my expectations. Spacious, bright exhibition rooms. Dozens of large tall A/C units distributed around the whole venue (the Bank Holiday weekend weather was very warm & sunny) which made being in the glass roofed spaces VERY comfortable. Clean & well run. Lots of food stands available, with a great variety for all tastes. Easy to get to by train, car or walking. Will definitely return next year

T. T.

Great location but signage from station to entrance would help (those who walk approach the rear entrance first). Accessible and layout suits having multiple spread out events at the same time. A bit too hot so perhaps fans could be set up on unusually warm days.

M. G.

Visited for the London Tattoo Convention and found the place very interesting.

A. C.

The event I attended was great, the tobacco docks themselves were situated in a rough area that did not put me at ease walking to the venue. The venue was bleak and cold and unimpressive. Event stand for food and drink was ridiculously priced; £9 for a can of Coke and a plain, not-too-bad chicken burger (no salad, sauce, option for extras). Overall great event, poor venue and abysmal pricing for food and drink

R. N. T.

A good venue, went during the Hyper Japan Summer Event of 2017. Despite being a nice place I thought it was a bit too dark, too small for the amount of people gathered there and the lack of lighting makes everything looks very similar. Other than that, a good venue, also great location.

B. A.

Amazing place cool calm and collected

M. D.

Beautiful venue and very festive during the holiday season. It's quite big and there's a lot to explore. I attended Taste of London and the space was impressively decorated but the event was poorly laid out but I can't speak ill of the venue for that.

A. B.

Enjoyed the gin tasting venue here today. (18/02/18). Great venue. Nice to see such a lovely old warehouse being used for entertainment etc. From the security staff to other hard working staff a warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Impressed.

S. B.

Amazing place to host an event. It's big and the architecture of the inside is really cool. I had so much fun roaming around this place. Hospitality didn't disappoint, but the weather did a little, but not enough to dull our good vibe

P. L.

I go to the London tattoo convention here and really enjoy it. It's always very clean and fresh looking. The upstairs can be a bit of a maze but not too bad. The downstairs is were all the bars and food are and is very large, so never too crowded. Really enjoyed my time here.

N. B.

Amazing place. Super chilled out vibe to hang out with your friends. If your expecting a traditional style of service where a waiter will walk to your table and take your order, then don't bother coming here. This is a very relaxed place with loungers, chilled out seating, a games bar, artificial garden. There are 3 bars serving cocktails, sangrias, beer... and you can chill here with your friends and have a nice time. Great for hen dos.. birthday parties... and loads of restaurants around so you can always grab a bite.

H. B.

Fantastic building. Went to the Bike Shed bike show. Brilliant day out.

M. B.

Great venue for events both indoors and outdoors so its ideal for summers and winters alike. We visited the Taste of London and The Skylight. Its a huge place with small sections, rooms , patio etc and is very cool. Great capacity to hold over 1000s of people. The closest tube/ DLR would be Shadwell or there’s a bus stop close by , you can get there on D3 or 100. They are probably coming up with an extended section as well .

A. S.

Went there for the London Halal Food Festival which happens annually. The setup was great. There was lots of food from different cuisines and it was all halal. Live food shows and a bazaar. Tobacco dock itself is a very uniquely historical place. The main gate is one thing to see. There is an old ship in the now dried up dock. There are fancy apartments around it which are spectacular things to see. I think there are other events which happen here so keep an eye out and visit this place once while you’re in London.

H. T.

Went to Meatopia here. Absolute blast. Lovely venue

A. R.

Great venue. Very versatile spaces. Gearing up for returning to normal. Rooftop bar is open and a must visit this summer

T. S.

Tattoo Convention. This place is massive. All the tattoo artists are truly talented. Amazing talent under one roof. The entertainment was brilliant, food tasty. Wear comfy shoes. Coming back again to this event next year. Worth every penny.

G. C.

Beautiful Grade I listed warehouse building that was primarily for storing, you guessed it... Tobacco. The venue was a building at risk when it was renovated in the 1990's. The idea was to create a new Covenant Garden market in the east end of London, unfortunately that didn't turn out. The space is now available for commercial and corporate events. I went the Gin Festival here in August 2017 and it was such a fun evening in a historic building with great ambiance.

C.

The dock is easy to get to using public transport, was well staffed and overall a lovely venue. We went there to have a wonder round the Taste of London food festival, and it was the perfect venue; gorgeous renovation, lovely open areas, and large windowed areas give good lighting.

M. M.

A fantastic space! I came here for the London tattoo convention and was highly impressed by the architecture and geometry of the building. It's huge! It's partially open aired and there is a ship anchored outside. A well facilitated space that is capable of holding many people without feeling crowded. Not a far walk from Tower Hill station.

P. R.

Great place! Learning in this open space is something magical.

C. B.

Great venue well worth a visit

F. K. (. M.

Was here for a motorcycle exhibition and it was brilliant (both the venue and the show). Only shortcoming was that some of the rooms were uncomfortably warm. Would give 4.5 stars and highly recommend.

A. H.

Charming, large events area with character. There is a premium luxurious feel about the facilities, but it's a tasteful fusion of the history and modern renovation. easy to access via public transport. I really enjoined the Food and drink festival at this venue.

B. C.

Quick service weather helped our situation too all outdoors great

K. A.

Was here for the hyperjapan event. Was very a very large venue with a stage and several separate sections. It wasn't too busy when we went but should be fine to accommodate larger amounts of people. The two floors are great and allow a viewing platform for events bieng held on the lower floor. Some areas are open which means it can get cold in the winter but would be great in the summer. Also has adequate areas to eat. The interior looks very nice and sophisticated. It is quite easy to get lost but this may be due to the nature of the event and the number of people.

J. H.

Great venue, but such a pain to get to. It's not very close to any major train stations. There's also very little in terms of local amenities and you'll have to walk at least 10 minutes away to find somewhere to go for lunch.

U. S.

Nice place multiple presentation halls and nearby parking as well

G. C.

Tattoo conventions, gaming conventions. Always good day out

B. M.

Was here for the gin festival over the bank holiday weekend. Great venue and festival was good fun too

S. w.

Great venue for a Techno event. I come here every year for Halloween drumcode. Queues get big so best thing is to head in early. I think the carpark is the best stage. I find it gives a better music quality than the other stages. While you get better visuals in the great gallery I find that the room is too wide and not deep enough. This detracts from the sound and atmosphere for me. I will definitely keep coming back. Wish the drinks were slightly cheaper but that's just London/music event prices for you. Looking forward to heading back here my work christmas party. Will be interesting to see it in a different way

R. C.

From the outside I'd have never guessed this was a fancy venue... Shouldn't judge a book by its cover!

J. W.

Was here for the Festival of Marketing in 2014 and it was a great venue, there was 8 tracks with plentiful seating for the talks. There was also good areas for the sponsors of the event. an amazing conversion which kept me looking at all the wooden beams during the day

J. H.

Love this venue. Always know how to hold a good party 🥳

L. P.

Regularly used for large events either corporate or commercial, I visited for one such event of the latter. Beautiful building, lots of space. If you do happen to have young kids with you, the ship outside will make them wow. Not much of a tourist place, but fun to visit with kids if not going for an event.

C. W.

Gorgeous architecture, simple but evocative space. Went for a trade exhibition and security & facilities both easily navigated. Good acoustics so even though it was busy, easy to communicate.

A. C.

Lovely place for venues there is a lot of comfortable space of different sizes around & the place is very easy to navigate. The overground stations are at a walking distance so you can get there quite easily.

F. D.

An inspiring place moments from Wapping and Shadwell stations. I discovered it during the Taste of London. Worth going back in spring.

S. C.

An amazing venue space!!! Great team who support it too.

s. a.

Gorgeous place. Went there for EGX Rezzed 2019 and not only is the place itself very pretty but its also impeccably designed, with outside light and air gently coming in from the clear (and, in some areas, absent) roofing.

L. G.

A unique setting for good expos - checked Hyper Japan out here. A little difficult to get to compared to the likes of Excel centre, but only 15 min or so from Tower Hill station. Can get a little busy in small corridors - but adds to the unique feel of the venue

A. s.

Cool venu. Went there for works Christmas party and it easily accommodated 3000 staff. Has a large main room and a couple of secondary bars below, including an ice bar. Food was also served on site and it has good working toilets

D. F.

Large outdoor venue Placed in unknown and up and coming shadwell wapping area It's a roof top of of a car park with indoor and outdoor areas. Can say it would Host easily 500 people Covered indoor lower floor area Kitchens seating and dining area Two floor outdoor area Large wrap around terrace and then a smaller platform. I went for event that had various spaces used for entrainment and various vendors promoting their respective businesses. Great space for events or social soirees.

M. A.

Went there for Taste of London festival. Lots of stands from a huge variety of restaurants and independent vendors. Great DJs and atmosphere. I believe it's a co-working space normally. Great place to hang out if it is!

M. D.

Fantastic venue. Attended The Bike Shed Motorcycle Show which get better every year and has to be the best bike show in the UK in my humble opinion. Thanks, keep up the good work!😎

S.

One of my favourite venues in London, a converted old warehouse with unique architecture and beautiful interior design. Its layout and spaciousness make it perfect for techno parties, which is what I usually attend there.

R. S.

Fantastic space to host events. Nice juxtaposition between old and new with the original framework of the building and the new steel and glass split of the smaller spaces. No baby changing which was annoying, but the other facilities were good.

W. C.

Ok venue, went to EGX Rezzed however it's not the best venue when it's cold. There are 2 areas in the venue...1 has no roof, the over does. The one with the outside the doors are closed to keep the heat in the rooms. Nice venue though with some interesting design put into it.

S. S.

Had our work xmas party here and it was a great choice as a venue due to its uniquely authentic environment and history. Only concern I had noted along with my colleagues was the distance to station - not too far but not welcome late at night.

T. 2.

A beautiful place for having some nice evenings. There is not any parking facilities. But still It is good place to visit.

E. R.

Lovely historic building. Huge venue, with a variety of different events throughout the year. Parking available. Look for the huge "Tobacco Dock" sign on top of the building - an unbelievable number of people don't see it, and have to ask for directions when they are standing right outside!

H. H.

Sprawling and somewhat confusing events venue. As it's an old dock warehouse that has been converted for this use it isn't the best in terms of facilities or heat management, however the multitude of small rooms does allow interesting possibilities for shows and exhibitions. It is a bit lacking in food and drink facilities so expect long queues at busy shows, particularly since policy seems to be to prohibit any outside food or drink

P. O. V. R.

Amazing venue for conferences and events. Light and spacious. Rooms are not sound proofed though so listening can be hard if a few people are chatting outside the door.

G. O.

Really good events space and the choice of vendors was decent

M. K.

Love it here. Working for Logic Vape Event Music is amazing. Venues huge. Pleasant staff and security. Very pleased for my first time coming here for work. Would definately come again when I'm not working. 🤗

J. A.

Standart venue, a bit cold.

S. B.

This is a great space. Went here for the London tattoo convention. Staff were friendly, good layout, nice selection of food trucks etc the tattoo convention was great too!

S. L. P.

Went here Good Friday for Hospitality in the Dock DNB rave. And WOW! What a venue... The car park was hands down the best bit of the day, loads of room to go explore in and the rooftop was lush. Sound system and lights were really well done. The toilets always had queues but they were fast following and you were in within 5 - 10 mins. Security as always were tight, but polite. But what do you expect from a club!

L. A. M. g. r.

Went there for hyper Japan had a fun time and the event was well run

B. Z. D.

Our office Christmas party in here was an enormous success and we definitely want to come back again.

J. B.

Had a great night out. Music was on point. Drinks reasonably priced. Love visiting Tobacco Dock, loads of different bars and events, I always find a parking spot outside my chosen venue. 👌🏽👌🏽

A. S.

Used for conferences. A few bars. Rooms are either cold or roasting!

Z. S.

Probably the best venue I've ever been to in London, with Printworks coming a close second. This place is absolutely huge. My only criticism would be the cashless token system which makes getting drinks tedious (however in VIP you can pay with card/cash).

L. C.

Really beautiful venue, lots of good spaces for talks and socialising. If it has any flaws it's that it's not always easy to navigate and it's somewhat too open to be comfortable in rainy weather.

T. H.

I been there on tattoo show amazing place for people who like it tattoo food drinks are quite expensive but worth it you can meet there all tattoo stars from all around the world even they can make you tattoo,amazing place I love it.

G. R.

Venue difficult to get to using public transport, not many hotels available when there is an event on. The function rooms are fine, the food is pretty good but the facilities are not wearing well with the bathrooms particularly needing a revamp.

S. A.

Such a beautiful place to visit and explore. Beautiful scenery and two great ships lies in ruins makes the whole thing look really kool. Lots of companies within the dock. Google map won't help you to navigate within.

R. M.

A very interesting location, really great to see what can happen when an old location if refurbished and brought into the future. There are plenty of bars and restaurants around the area as well as local shops for all sorts of nick nacks. The only problem would be general access to the rest of London as it is quite far from the centre of the city

J. F.

Great venue with lots of space for the convention. Attended EGX Rezzed 2016 for 3 days and there was easily enough space to move around between different exhibits without any hassle. Sometimes navigating around the place can be confusing but you got used to it after awhile. Lots of places to sit down on the floor but no real seating setup in areas that were not exhibiting. Look forward to going here again!

D.

I've been here for Hyper Japan, Work Christmas party that I organised, my friend's art show, etc. It's a great venue that always looks amazing. The only downside is that it's very open so in winter it's quite cold.

J. G.

One of the new hotspots where hangout nowadays. I recommend also the top roof ice ring!

A. N.

Good venue for a conference. I was there during a heat wave so they brought in large fans, which helped some but it was still sticky. Staff were helpful and there was tight security to go through given recent events.

V. V.

Went over a bank holiday for the Gin Festival. It certainly served the purpose for this festival, plenty of space and Gin rooms well played out. Sitting outside a long the river with deck chairs provided was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable.

R. B. -. E. k.

Tobacco dock is one of those places that got developed in the 1980's and flopped due to bad location. There has been somewhat of a rejuvenation and at Christmas went to an event down there. Very lively, great vibe but not sure how it ranks during quiet weeks as it is a bit isolated down there. If I had the money and needed to throw an event though, would not hesitate, very trendy and hip place to go

T. H.

Great venue. Been here for two separate day long music events. They don't usually take card and there's a lot of security. The bar staff are usually really sound .

e. t.

Let's start with the fact that it is a huge venue. There is an open area in the middle and galleries in both sides. There were a lot of smoking areas. Toilets had big queues and the medics didn't have paracetamol (?). It was a busy day as I visited on a NYD party from LWE. The car park at the basement is awesome for parties. I imagine it would be of great use for exhibitions

R. H.

Great venue. Huge range of rooms of different capacities. Excellent catering. Friendly staff. Needs more and better loos for large events.

M. C.

Company conferencesl visit but still a lovely historic venue.

H. B.

Came here for the company summer party, a very nice location and you will have a great time! Was someones birthday and they were very accommodating, we all had a good time despite it raining a lot.

A. B.

Very cool venue. It's very big though and the various entrances don't connect from the inside. Find out where the entrance you need is before you go

M. c.

I went here for the sweatlife event the weekend just gone. A great venue with multiple rooms and nice outdoor area! Perfect venue for holding large scale events

M. F.

Lovely venue for the annual Meatopia pilgrimage

J. J. (.

The actual venue is great, a really nice setting, cool boat outside, lots of "shopfront" style openings, however it is hard to find. I came for EGX Rezzed, and the event was absolute trash.

R. R.

Went for an Exhibition. Good Area. You can sense the 1800's when ships must have docked in and unloaded fishes and other items. You can get that old historical ambience when you focus on the surrounding. Ignoring the new built flats.

T. R.

Attended the London gin festival 2018. Drinks and food were great although the tasting areas were a little crowded. Maybe next time they can spread things out a bit more.

J. C.

Great venue, hospitality at the dock here was something special

J. A.

Fantasic venue, perfect as a blank canvass to hire for larger events - Can also offer space for smaller meetings too - Loads of events hosted throughout the year including the Gin Festival - Easy access from Shadwell (Overground) or Wapping

M. G.

Amazing venue with great atmosphere, plenty of outdoor and indoor space. Really enjoyed the concerts I’ve seen here.

C. C.

One of the best clubbing venues in the UK. Outstanding 👌

R. W.

Huge, historic venue with multiple spaces for large scale events.

A. A.

Was Amazing From Start To Finish

G. M.

We went to the Hyper Japan event and as always was enjoyable. My only gripe would be having to pay to get in to what is essentially a market for all things Japanese the culture, food, gaming, anime etc. Lots of Cosplayers so a unique event only bettered by going to see Rocky Horror.

M. D.

It's a big event venue that is used for all kinds of different things so it really depends on what is going on when you visit. I found it a little soulless and lacking in character but it has lots of different areas, nooks and crannies so with the right event it could be good.

Z. E.

Really big place with smaller rooms on sites,food and drinks also available been there on a party.

A. D. (.

Was checking out this place as a potential venues for a event I'm planning. I was greeted by a friendly member of staff and guided around the place. It a beautiful building with large space to hold events. From large conferences to small launch parties.

M. O.

The Bike Shed 2018 Great place to go... Even better in 2019 The tenth anniversary... Brilliant Motorcycle... Fantastic street food... Good choice of clothing... Did I mention the Great looking Motorcycle... Going to go next year!

J. T.

Really nice and interesting place to go to. I struggled a bit to find the entrance as there seemed to be a few back entrances used for separate events and reception didn't answer the bell. I liked how they maintained the history of the place when they renovated it.

K. M.

We visited for the taste of London event. It is a lovely venue, keeping many of the original features with the addition if modern glass divides for the different sections.

M. C.

Enjoyed my visit there

C. H.

We've been here for a few festivals, London taste and Junipalooza. It's a pretty good venue. Lots of room, mostly inside but with a few outside areas. Recommended.

J. K.

Lovely venue that hosts some great events if house and techno music is your thing. Everything is very well organised so not much queueing around.

E. A.

I LOVE TOBACCO DOCK! My favourite venue for L.W.E events - always plays the best shows!! Sound system and lights are amazing!!! Recommend it to anybody!x

G. G.

I been to studio space. The quality of the music was good, but the wardrobe was full, without space. Wait long time at the bar and probably much more people than what it was supposed to keep

A. O.

A really charming venue bursting with character. Attended EGX Rezzed three times here now and enjoyed every visit. The proximity to Shadwell Station makes it easy to get to, and the open air nature of the location makes it very bright and airy. Only downside is that it's very difficult to navigate; both halves look identical and there are no indicators to tell you which half you're in, or where the toilets/exits are.

M. M.

Great place to get into when events are on.But be warned you dont get to just go where you want.It was once a shopping centre and small companys use it as offices.It would be nice to have an open day to see the history of the place.

J. (.

Great venue hoping to go to more things there. We went for junipalooza and had a great time lots of people there but the settings made it work so you were not bunched up in one place.

D. M.

One of the best venues I've been to in a long time, unique, friendly staff (as friendly you can get at events!) And parked in an awesome part of London that'll take you back 100 years!

H. B.

Loved this venue, we came for hospitality in the dock and had one of the best day time raves ever.. We have been to loads but the location, the venue and the vibes really made it so good.

T. L.

This is an event venue. A large old building that can house a conference. I attended the Spiceworks SpiceWorld London show. There's not much here, and the venue is not overly convenient to get to/from by public transport. I'd prefer to not go here again.

S. P.

Ok not alot of shop around open

J. M.

Great venue, staff always polite and available to help. Skybar also superb (if a little wet for our visit)

W. L.

Attended the FFXIV Fanfest here last year, the event was amazing only made better by the perfect location that is the Tobacco Dock, added bonus is the cool ship outside and that so many great cheap accommodations around. Looking forward to seeing it again next year.

A. D.

Amazing event .....great food

K. Q.

Really brilliant setting to have meetings - conference rooms were clean and bright. So very boujie! Would return for another event.

M. L.

It's a cool place for music event.

D. D.

It's a good looking venue but it lacks signage (eg entrance this way, no entry etc). The main hall also has restricted views due to columns through the middle.

J. H.

Beautiful event area. Although we were there across two cold days, at least it was dry. Plenty of character to the building.

R. W.

Came here for the Festival of Marketing. This is an amazing and versatile space for corporate gatherings and conventions. On the ground level some spaces are already occupied by small startups, but the rest can be used in a really interactive way (e.g themed rooms, large auditoriums, space for food stalls). The old 'dock' design is always a talking point, we were busy trying to imagine how tobacco was traded there back in the day!

C. J.

Great exhibition space in a unique setting. Located fairly centrally however not the most convenient place to get to. Has a good selection of indoor and outdoor space to take advantage of.

A. K.

Quite place with ample of space for walking and running. Cycling and skating are not allowed

J. K.

Went there to go to Rezzed. A nice venue that is a bit of a Warren. Only downside if the food selection that we had there was rubbish. Ended up head off site to pick something up. A shame really.

K. S.

Great event venue space. Sometime they do not create a logical route through the events hosted there but that is part of the charm

D. “.

It must be great place, but we came here when it was closed (bad timing) 😒

Y. S.

This venue is amazing, love how it looks and makes events held there all the more better. I have been twice before and both times have been great.

D. S.

We went Christmas hyper Japan in the tobacco docks and it was brilliant! It was well thought out, had a good variety of stands that catered for every aspect of Japananese lifestyle and Japanese culture! Would highly recommend to anyone who is in a tiny bit interested in Japan. They have amazing authentic food to try. Fashion stalls with hundreds of different styles. There is homeware including bowls and tea sets. We brought some lovely christmas presents that are so original and unique can not wait till next year too visit again!! 💜

l. h.

Love wrapping the only part of London with real old school caricature

A. B.

It's a very nice place for holding events we went on the taste London festive version. The only thing is because it's half open sometimes you can get very cold, so in the winter bring your jacket

J. B.

Nice venue for big events. Cool space, however gets very cold in the winter months, even in the indoor areas

R. D.

The venue itself has so much character! Been working events here for 5 years and it still impresses me!

M. P.

Went here for the London Tattoo Convention. The place is cool, easy to find and really conveniently has an outsidey bit next to the canal. Overwhelmingly big.

N. K.

Very nice for events and very big. Recommended.

A. J.

I love Tobacco Dock as a venue, been for EGX, BAFTAs and the tattoo conventions, but they could really do with regular decent food options

J. A.

Beautiful convention venue but it feels lime navigating through a maze sometimes and the security staff could be a little bit nicer to guests.

A. s.

Cool venu. Went there for works Christmas party and it easily accommodated 3000 staff. Has a large main room and a couple of secondary bars below, including an ice bar. Food was also served on site and it has good working toilets

K. S.

Great event venue space. Sometime they do not create a logical route through the events hosted there but that is part of the charm

L. G.

A unique setting for good expos - checked Hyper Japan out here. A little difficult to get to compared to the likes of Excel centre, but only 15 min or so from Tower Hill station. Can get a little busy in small corridors - but adds to the unique feel of the venue

M. P.

Cool venue for events!

M. D.

Beautiful venue and very festive during the holiday season. It's quite big and there's a lot to explore. I attended Taste of London and the space was impressively decorated but the event was poorly laid out but I can't speak ill of the venue for that.

D. “. B.

The sun setting on a stormy evening.

N. L.

The event was awesome. The venue was good, could have been served up a bit smarter in the halls.

J. S.

A great day out plenty of things to see. And plenty of good bars and restaurants to eat in

j. a.

Great event venue - went for junipalooza for 4th year running. Stunning when the sun shines through it

k. h.

Really nice place to go

G. H.

We came to winter taste of London here. The food we had was good, but there are significantly less options than the summer version.

B.

Loved every music event I’ve gone to at this venue. Split into different areas, keeps it fun.

B. H.

Not a bad events venue. A little bit out of the centre but walkable from London Bridge in about half an hour or there is a tube/dlr station not too far away.

P. P.

Excellent Excellent beautiful experience

M. R.

London Halal food festival

E. E.

great location for EGX Rezzed where I showcased the mobile puzzle game RUYA

L. G.

Cool venue, we had a company christmas party there, staff were very usefull, cloackroom made no errors, clean toilets.

R. C.

Great events venue that offers a different and more interested space than other venues I have been.

A.

Epic music! Great set up. Fantastic lights. This is a must if you like house and the like. Can't recommend it highly enough

C. L.

Venue is nice (Industrial feel), but toilets seemed to be an issue as they were pretty much constantly blocked at the event I attended.

P.

Fries were pretty good

L.

Nice little conference center, easy to get to, decent set up nice food/drink. It does need better air-conditioning on Sunny days though

G. M.

Good place to go if you want to hang about a moody setting and recite deep poetry to yourself. Beware of joggers, spoiling a peaceful stroll. They huff and puff and wax lyrical about their propensity to "work hard and play hard", but truth is they know nuffing about da streetz.

s. h.

Nice venue plenty of outside space and lots of motorbikes but that might have been because there was a bike show on at the time

N.

Closed up when I was there but looked interesting

D. R. L.

What a gorgeous venue! I think I would consider going to ANY exhibition / festival / fair held here just because I love the venue!

N. L.

The event was awesome. The venue was good, could have been served up a bit smarter in the halls.

G. W.

Created in the early 1800s, then reformed as a shopping centre – then shortly after, falling into administration – Tobacco Dock is now being used for corporate events and conferences. There's plenty of history to be told in this well-kept warehouse, complete with oak beams and stone vaults – as well as some ships out back – yet there hasn't been much of a push for visitors. Wired's Next Generation conference was a fitting setting to inspire both young and old to this establishment.

M. A.

Wonderful pace to go for a walk around and the inside venue space hold good events there at times too.

N. F.

Went for Taste of London. Easy to get to and from. Far more than I was expecting. Food, drinks, souvenirs, great time. Highly recommend

M. R.

Great venue, so huge!

M. H.

Good events taking place there more frequently, from club nights to festivals. Location is a pain, but the architecture and character of the place is cool.

D. P. (.

Been a couple of times for different events and I do not like the layout and all the little units makes it awkward to get around and you end up missing bits to see.

S. I.

Fun evening out during the Taste of London event. The vibe was wonderful and the mix of indoor and outdoor areas added to the experience!

P. M.

Really great venue for corporate events

J. R.

Great spaces, we’ve used this venue for various corporate sector clients and there is great scope for breakouts and meeting spaces. Can get a little hot in the summer!

T.

Egx Rezzed is always sick here lots of places to eat near by come and leave as you please otherwise inside the have loads of food stands. Quite expensive ones so I don't recommend them. Make sure you talk to the Devs of the games really fun to engage with them and feedback o. What you liked and disliked!

S. J.

Visited during Autodesk University, great multi level environment for exhibitions and conferences. One star dropped due to not being able to cope with 32deg temperature on the day

V. U.

Love this place for a lunchtime walk or a drink after work at skylight summer bar. The opening times are only thursday to sunday ans remember to go early as they limit entry due to capacity.

A. P.

Lovely venue, bit of a strange set up for Hyper Japan, but I can see how it's a perfect venue for other conventions.

N. S.

Fantastic venue, attended London Craft Beer, was so impressed with the place, even if toilets were tricky to find at first!

P. W.

went queen mary graduation

S.

Went to a food show here, it was great. Been to other events love the location

j. a.

Great event venue - went for junipalooza for 4th year running. Stunning when the sun shines through it

P. C.

Great for an event however in summer seemed a bit like a greenhouse, the staff however did their best to add Aircon and fans to cool down.

A. B.

Amazing event space. The Bike Shed exhibition was amazing. Very well curated and some fantastic bobbers

S. S.

Excellent venue for all your partying needs. The crowd leaves a bit to be desired but that is not the venue's fault!

P. S.

Good interesting venue. Quirky layout with good facilities. Needs better ventilation. Like a sauna on a hot day.

R. v. d. M.

Cool event venue, can feel a little sterile but certainly unique. Not that convenient to get to on public transport.

J. E.

Really nice venue, we were there for Taste London. Big, plenty of space and clean facilities

C. M.

Excellent venue. Easily accessible by tube and car, pleasant decor and nice outdoor display area.

M. T.

I was just passing through on my way to somewhere else and to stop and take a look at this historic location. I can see it's a great place to hold events.

D. J. M. L.

Amazing historic venue!

N. G.

Nice venue. Has many small rooms so how thr event gets layed or makes a big difference!

c. r.

Good venue, but (this could have been the hosts rather than the event organiser) there wasn't many places to sit

A. B.

Really interesting venue, though it's slightly awkward for a conference as the place is like a maze inside making it hard to find things and creating limited exhibition space.

A. G.

Had a great time at Hyper japan while it was on here, the venue is pretty awesome. Its a very large place with a couple of offices here and there.

s. f.

Went to Spotlight roof bar. Lovely and relaxing. Comfy seating and nice staff. Drinks usual priced

D. T.

Enjoy the venue's at tobacco dock. Especially the motorcycle ones. Quite good layout, with a nice entrance by old long boats.

T. R.

Great event venue, visited as part of the Taste of London Winter Edition. Walking down to St. Kathrins docks is even more of a treat

R. M.

Open and airy venue for events. Highly recommend and worth the extra work to personalize. A place that will stand out in peoples minds

A. M.

Nice place

D. F.

Cool and unique event venue, worth a visit if you have a chance.

S. P.

Excellent venue, easily accessible from the south of London. There a free motorcycle park in the street that runs along the rear of the building.

M. H.

Been to several events held here, especially gin orientated. Great location easily accessible from several stations nearby.

C. S.

A very trendy exhibition venue, not easy to get to but a very nice place.

D. H.

Amazing venue for events. Very interesting building and the style is in keeping with the original dock. Parking a bit tricky.

G. B.

The Tobacco Docks are a wonderful venue full of history and mystery. It is well kept and maintained, easy to find and well worth the visit.

P. L.

Historic venue with interesting architecture, a short walk away from Shadwell Overground Station. Good to see it brought back into (an alternative) use.

T. M. R.

A good selection of stalls, from a range of cuisines, varied from Moroccan to American. All Halal. Food was bit pricey though.

B. B.

Best tattoo convention of the year Tobacco Dock is great venue and I'm sure next year's will be even better exit excellently run

L. a. J.

Brilliant venue. Very well organised. Went for a Bonobo Outlier Event would highly reccommend! Loved dancing in the "carpark"

J. W.

Nice area. Plus a rooftop bar is one of the small hidden gem

L. M.

Event space is ok, but used in winter it can get very cold despite huge numbers of heaters located all over the place.

U. K.

Only one word: fantastic #HyperJapan

m. G.

Tobacco docks is a great venue quite special place very nice historical environment which has facility to be changed into rave scene or upmarket banquet

D. W.

Gin festival, great venue for drinking gin all night

T. D.

Really interesting venue, tons of space and has cool indoor/outdoor options.

m. “. n.

What to say one of the best places In London rooftop bar and the stars

A. G.

Great venue with some great events, facilities well maintained and well signposted.

L. D.

Old brick vaulted rooms, new glass skylights and open areas make for a venue with few comparisons

P. R.

If they are holding and event you are interested in its a great venue plus there is an Italian bar opposite.

J. S.

Old warehouse units, now disused shop lots from failed shopping centre conversion. Limited use for certain events. Layout is confusing on two floors with multiple empty small shop lots and long corridors and sections. Hard uneven stone floors. A part of the shipping docks history since the 1800s by river location.

T. J.

Good to load in from Loading Bay 2 beautiful building

S. Y.

Tobacco dock is closest to Shadwell station, about 7 mins away. It’s a popular place where mostly corporate and commercial events are hosted

W.

Great venue, although a little far from the main tube/ train lines, especially if you are travelling from West London.

D. i. C.

Nice pubs around the dock and inside the dock

S. N.

Great taste event with superb food and drink. The venue was superb and added to the whole show.

I. S.

Fantastic venue for events! Spacious, quirky, with gorgeous surrounding right next to the canal.

I went to Meatopia food festival, which was great! However, i would definitely try other events at this historic and very flexible venue!

M. “. P.
