Printworks London reopening 3D concept
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.

A Community-Fueled Victory
Concerns over Printworks’ closure first arose in October 2021 when property developer British Land submitted a proposal to convert the 6,000-capacity club into office space. This announcement sparked a widespread backlash from the dance music community, leading to over 10,000 signatures on a petition to preserve the club.
In 2022, Broadwick Live, the organization behind Printworks, revealed that discussions were underway to reopen the venue following the site’s redevelopment.
Although the future was uncertain at the time, plans were approved in July 2022, setting the stage for the venue’s closure after a final series of parties in late April and early May 2023. These farewell events featured performances by renowned artists like Peggy Gou, Bicep, and Black Coffee, with the hope that Printworks would reopen in 2026.
Emma Cariaga, a key figure in British Land’s project leadership, underscores the potential to establish a new cultural landmark in London. The reopening of Printworks based on his legacy will make it again a premier destination for electronic music enthusiasts worldwide. The club was voted #2 best club in the world in DJ Mag Top Clubs 2023.
