MAGAZINE LONDON:
Magazine London is a state-of-the-art venue that can flex to meet the most ambitious ideas. At over 3,000
square metres, the site is one of the largest purpose-built hybrid spaces in London, with four distinctive
internal spaces and a riverside Showground. 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
