The Industrial House- Outdoor, Docklands

Oct 15

2 min read

Occupying a distinctive waterfront position on the edge of London’s Royal Docks, The Industrial House is a Grade II-listed former cold-storage and cargo facility dating back to 1914. Its historic architecture and expansive dockside surroundings give the wider venue a cinematic, distinctly industrial identity, with the main interior, this outdoor area and exterior façade offering three complementary settings for events and productions. Each area can be hired separately, or the entire site can be booked exclusively, with a total capacity of up to 700 standing guests.

The Outdoor space brings the surrounding docklands landscape into the experience, offering a striking backdrop of expansive skies and the working-industrial character of the Royal Docks. Its setting creates a contrast with the building’s imposing brick architecture, giving productions and events the opportunity to move between enclosed industrial interiors and a more open environment. The wider landscape- including dockside structures, bridges and broad horizons- adds visual depth, making the area particularly appealing for location filming, fashion campaigns, car shoots and creative projects that benefit from an urban setting with a sense of scale.

The outdoor area can also form part of a larger event, creating space for guests to gather outside the main building or allowing a production to make use of multiple backdrops within one location. Combined with the vast interior and striking exterior façade, it offers the flexibility to build a varied experience without moving between separate sites. Located close to Royal Albert DLR and within walking distance of the Elizabeth Line, The Industrial House remains accessible for crews and guests while retaining the atmosphere of a distinctive location.
