The redevelopment of the Printworks building in south-east London will retain some of the space that was rented out as cultural space until last summer, with the potential to add new space to the development.

Property developers British Land and Australian Super have submitted a Reserved Matters planning application to reinstate a permanent cultural venue at the Printworks building within the Canada Water development.
Printworks London, managed by electronic music and arts management company Broadwick, closed to the public this summer after evolving into one of the world’s most famous cultural venues through a six-year temporary agreement. The developers are currently in talks with Broadwick about operating an alternative venue.
The design, led by architects Hawkins Brown, aims to preserve the volume and character of the building, with the replacement venue occupying half of the existing building and the other half containing work and retail space known as the Grand Press. will be provided. Once home to Western Europe’s largest printing factory, known as Harmsworth Quays, its original beauty and printing presses have been preserved.
In addition to the partial preservation of the main hall, there will also be a rooftop space with views over this part of London and several new smaller rooms.
If the planning application is approved, the new Printworks could reopen in 2026.

This website has been running for over 10 years and although advertising revenue helps fund the website, it does not cover our costs. That’s why I teamed up with his DonorBox to set up a facility where people can donate the cost of a website and the time they spend writing and researching news articles.
This is very similar to how the Guardian and many smaller websites are currently trying to make money in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it’s a one-off donation or a recurring donation, any additional support will go a long way towards covering the costs of running this website and keeping it regularly topped up with news and facts from London.
