Built in the early 19th century as a secure bonded warehouse, Tobacco Dock has been beautifully restored and now offers a series of industrial-style event spaces for up to 5,000 guests. A vast undercroft contains over 30 private rooms, all of which retain their original character with exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings and oak beams. Natural daylight and state-of-the-art AV facilities add a modern touch to the spaces. The size of the venue makes it suitable for exhibitions and training days, while smaller break-out spaces suit banqueting. The quayside setting, next to Tower Bridge, is a convenient destination from the City and Docklands, and there is on-site parking for over 800 cars.

The whole space can accommodate over 3000 guests but the variety of spaces, including dramatic basement vaults and atria, provides the perfect setting for parties, club nights, celebrations, conferences and exhibitions.

Beautiful oak beams support a vaulted roof with traditional glass lanterns atop a solid, Victorian brick built warehouse space.

Tobacco Dock offers complete flexibility for all your event needs. The space lends itself to a wide range of uses:-
Exhibitions and Trade Fairs
Public events and festivals
Conferences and Meetings
Training and Team Development
Celebrations and Ceremonies
Parties and Receptions
Semi-permanent working, office and storage space
Location filming and Unit Base

What Our Clients Say

I have used ‘Function Fixers’ now on many occasions and they are my go-to for literally any event I need help with organising. Heather is an absolute superstar who is always there to help and goes above and beyond to find me the perfect venue and make sure it is a smooth transition from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and am so thankful to have found the company…absolute life and time savers, and certainly ‘fixers’!!

Really impressed at the speed and efficiency of this service. I gave Chen a really tricky brief and they smashed it out the park and really helped my team.

I need to find a venue large enough to host a group for Easter Retreat. We was beginning to worry that we would not be able to host it in England which would have meant taking it to America or Canada. However we where saved by the Bell by Heather from function fixers, she was the groups shining armer in this case. Heather was able to come up with three or four options that was large enough to host the group also flexible to the groups need. Heather was able to do all the stressful part of negotiations with the venues right to the end and all our group did was to agree with the venue on the date the booking payment was needed We are extremely grateful for all that Heather did for us and would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a venue for any occasion so leaving yourselves stress free to enjoy your day. Thank you Heather

I've been working with Carrie for the past 2-3 months to finalise a venue for a 250pax conference we are hosting next year. She was exceptional in putting forward appropriate suggestions and even better at managing our changing requests and circumstances. Nothing was too much trouble. We have just signed on a venue and we are delighted. Highly recommend!
