About Venue

Located in Wapping, East London, Dockside Vaults is a dramatic underground event venue set within a network of historic brick vaults beneath the London Docks. Combining industrial heritage with atmospheric lighting and modern event infrastructure, the venue offers a distinctive setting for parties, brand events and immersive corporate experiences.

Known for its vaulted brick architecture and moody, immersive atmosphere, Dockside Vaults is particularly well suited to evening receptions, product launches, private parties and creative corporate events where character and ambience are central. It is a venue that prioritises experience and visual impact over formal conferencing.

Event Spaces

Dockside Vaults comprises multiple interconnected vault spaces that can be used individually or combined for larger events. The layout supports standing receptions, immersive installations, performances and informal presentations, with natural zoning created by the vaulted structure.

The venue works best for receptions, parties and experiential events rather than seated conferences or breakout-heavy programmes.
