About this location

Extraordinary Grade II-listed industrial landmark. Built in 1914 as a cold-storage and cargo facility for the working docks, the building retains the raw power, scale and texture of London’s maritime past while now being reimagined as a cutting-edge cultural destination.

Set directly on the waterfront with uninterrupted dockside views, it offers filmmakers a rare blend of monumental architecture and atmospheric decay - vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, steel gantries, original rails, heavy machinery remnants, cavernous halls that feel both timeless and cinematic.

Unlike many repurposed industrial sites, this venue has preserved its authentic character. The vast interior spaces can read as anything from dystopian future, secret lair, underground bunker, underground lab, abandoned factory, high-security facility, historical warehouse, art installation space or immersive performance arena. The exterior - with its iconic red brick façade, towering windows and waterside setting - delivers instant visual impact on screen.

The site is logistically strong for crew access while still feeling removed from the intensity of central London. The surrounding landscape - cranes, water, sky, bridges and wide horizons - provides a striking backdrop for exterior shoots, car work, drone shots and night filming.
