Printworks London revival as a cultural landmark
Printworks London, the renowned post-industrial superclub, is poised to make a comeback by 2026. This potential revival comes as site owners and property developers British Land and AustraliaSuper have entered into exclusive discussions with Broadwick, the electronic music operator behind it.
The envisioned venue will occupy one portion of the existing building, while the other segment, dubbed the Grand Press, will undergo a transformation into offices accommodating 1,500 employees and retail establishments. The consortium has submitted their proposal to Southwark Council aiming to secure planning permission within the coming months.
