The Isle of Dogs makes the most of its trendy East End of London location, with more than a few great venues to its name. Below you will find some of the more unique offerings found within the area, suited to a whole host of different occasions and styles. So, take a look and see what grabs your eye then get planning for your next big event.
Situated right on the waterfront, just a 5-minute walk from Canary Wharf station in the sleek Crossrail Place development, Everyman Cinema offers use of 3 screening rooms. They have become famous for their stylish, comfortable and colourful seating, as well as the venue’s statement bar. Each of the auditoria benefits from the highest picture quality and the very latest in digital projection technology. The in-house team are more than happy to create bespoke events, having hosted everything from conferences and product launches to social events and celebrations.
28 West is a stylish lounge bar and multi-purpose space, accommodating everything from casual gatherings of friends to corporate meetings and events. It’s the laid-back, welcoming nature of both the atmosphere and the décor that lends it this level of versatility, with the likes of comfortable sofa seating and exposed brickwork complimented by pinball machines and table football. Other highlights include a generous 350-person capacity and great views onto the River Thames.
Wilberforce and Quayside is housed within The Museum of London Docklands, a Grade I listed Georgian warehouse with an 800-person capacity, built way back in 1802. The history of the building, which keeps its roots firmly in the area’s rich past, is contrasted to great effect with the ultra-modern skyline of Canary Wharf which lies beyond. Continuing this theme of old-meets-new in the interior, characterful features like the original pine columns and floors sit alongside contemporary fittings.
