The site spans 37,000 square metres along the waterfront, with views of the cityscape. It can be hired as a whole, taking 20,000 standing, or as area 1, 2 or 3 on its own.

On the Royal Docks
Musical performances and festivals gain a London waterfront setting with views of the cityscape, and the former docks add history to the site.
Shoots, music and brand activations
Film shoots, music and brand activations each find room on a site of this size, and the creative and cultural character of the docks carries through every event.
