About Venue
Located on the banks of the River Thames within London's historic Royal Docks, Silverworks Island is one of the UK's largest and most unique outdoor event venues. Spanning an impressive 37,000 square metres, this transformative waterfront destination provides a spectacular blank canvas for festivals, corporate events, brand activations, exhibitions, product launches, filming, large-scale productions and immersive experiences. Combining industrial heritage with panoramic views across the Docklands, the venue offers a dramatic backdrop unlike anywhere else in the capital.
Originally part of the historic Silvertown Quays, Silverworks Island has been reimagined as a flexible cultural destination capable of hosting events for up to 20,000 guests. The expansive hardstanding site can be hired exclusively or divided into multiple activation zones, allowing organisers to create bespoke event layouts tailored to their requirements.
Located just minutes from London City Airport and well connected by the DLR, Elizabeth Line and Underground network, Silverworks Island combines exceptional accessibility with one of London's most distinctive outdoor event environments.
