Magazine London, Greenwich Peninsula

A new 10,000-capacity venue called Magazine is opening on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London. From the team behind the nightclub Printworks, Magazine is a multi-purpose space that’s fit for conferences and exhibitions as well as concerts.

Magazine consists of two indoor spaces that can accommodate 3,000 people plus an outdoor area called the Showground, which can cater for up to 7,000 people. The venue offers panoramic views of the River Thames and Canary Wharf skyline. The venue is located in front of the site of British artist Alex Chinneck's famous installation ‘A Bullet from a Shooting Star’. The installation, which resembles an upside-down electricity pylon, will be illuminated at night, creating a prominent landmark for those travelling to and from the Greenwich Peninsula.

Magazine’s website says that the venue will be ‘a striking blank canvas for culture and commerce', offering brands and businesses a unique opportunity ‘to interact with global and local audiences'. With its three distinct yet complementary spaces, expect to find yourself heading to an event at Magazine London this summer.
