Printworks London reopening 3D concept
Printworks London revival as a cultural landmark
Printworks London, the renowned post-industrial superclub, is poised to make a comeback by 2026. This potential revival comes as site owners and property developers British Land and AustraliaSuper have entered into exclusive discussions with Broadwick, the electronic music operator behind it.
The envisioned venue will occupy one portion of the existing building, while the other segment, dubbed the Grand Press, will undergo a transformation into offices accommodating 1,500 employees and retail establishments. The consortium has submitted their proposal to Southwark Council aiming to secure planning permission within the coming months.
What appeals to us about it is that it’s creating a new piece of city and a new district for London. We intend to create a permanent cultural venue and put it on the map globally. Over the last six years, Printworks has become an iconic venue for electronic music and one of the top five clubs in the world. But our plans seek to push that to deliver a much broader programme.

Once known as Harmsworth Quays, The Printworks was home to the printing presses that produced newspapers including the Daily Mail and Evening Standard. The plan will reinstate and create a permanent music venue in one half of the large former Printworks building, the other half will deliver next-generation sustainable workspace and retail, known as The Grand Press.
Emma Cariaga, a key figure in British Land’s project leadership, underscores the potential to establish a new cultural landmark in London. The reopening of Printworks based on his legacy will make it again a premier destination for electronic music enthusiasts worldwide. The club was voted #2 best club in the world in DJ Mag Top Clubs 2023.
