Located in Southwark, just south of the River Thames, The Ministry is a members-led creative venue combining workspaces, event areas, bars and social spaces within a former Victorian factory. Designed as a hub for the creative industries, the venue offers a contemporary, design-driven setting for corporate events, launches and social gatherings.

Known for its relaxed yet polished atmosphere and strong sense of community, The Ministry is particularly well suited to brand events, panel discussions, product launches, receptions and informal corporate gatherings where networking and experience are key. It is a venue that prioritises creativity, connection and environment over formal conference delivery.

Event Spaces & Layout

The Ministry offers a variety of interconnected spaces including event rooms, lounges, screening areas and outdoor terraces. These can be used independently or combined, supporting presentations, receptions, panel talks and social events with a natural flow between formal and informal areas.

The layout works best for receptions, talks and networking-led events rather than large-scale conferences or breakout-heavy programmes.
