EAST WINTERGARDEN

Designed by the renowned architect César Pelli, East Wintergarden is one of Canary Wharf’s most sought-after venues. The twenty-seven-metre-high glass atrium provides a spectacular setting for conferences, awards ceremonies, product launches, private parties and weddings.

The impressive city venue is the sister building to New York’s Winter Garden, with space for up to 1,000 guests. Its design is influenced by the heyday of art deco, with a unique polychrome marble floor and wraparound beech-panelled walls. The building transitions to suit different moods and occasions, illuminated with customisable colours at night and flooded with natural light in the day.

EVENT TYPES

CONFERENCES

Located opposite Canary Wharf Underground station, East Wintergarden is the financial district’s most impressive conference venue. Its fully glazed main space benefits from exceptional natural light, with views onto the river. The open-plan main atrium measures 32 x 21 metres and is fully flexible to a range of set-ups, including main stage and theatre-style seating. Our partners provide state-of-the-art production services for audiovisual displays and branding requirements. 

The venue is a DDA-compliant exclusive hire, which includes an additional mezzanine breakout space, perfect for workshops or as a break area. For catering on the day, we can offer a range of options, from healthy lunches to seated conference dinners. A dedicated on-site event manager oversees bookings from start to finish, ensuring a smooth-running and elevated event.

BRAND & PRODUCT LAUNCHES

Both the location of East Wintergarden in the heart of Canary Wharf and its impressive branding opportunities make it an unmatched venue for brand and product launches. From custom coloured lighting to fully brandable beech-panelled walls and 27-metre high steel ceiling beams for flown banners, the venue can be fully transformed to the needs of your brand. LC SmartGlass allows the glass façade to be transformed at the flick of a switch to an opaque backdrop, ensuring privacy as well as branding and projecting opportunities.

In terms of functional aspects, East Wintergarden has a large capacity, excellent transport links and state-of-the-art production partners responsible for lighting and sound design. Drive-in access and load in doors are large enough to accommodate any product, including automotive launches.

RECEPTIONS

The open-plan vaulted space of East Wintergarden is perfect for receptions, with capacity for up to 1,000 guests. It can incorporate a range of formats, from seated dinners and networking spaces to performances and dancefloors. Easily accessible on Canary Wharf’s bankside, the floor-to-ceiling views provide an unparalleled backdrop over the water.

Our carefully chosen entertainment and production partners work with us to provide custom experiences, whether aerial artists performing from the 27-metre high domed ceiling, or bespoke audiovisual displays. Catering options include canapé services, multi-course seated dinners and specialists in Asian and Afro-Caribbean banqueting. The space is fully DDA compliant, with drive-in access and a host of branding opportunities, from flown banners to custom lighting and wall wraps.

AWARDS & DINNERS

Floor-to-ceiling views of Canary Wharf provide a spectacular backdrop for award ceremonies and seated dinners. We work with experienced production partners to put together bespoke events, including stage builds, live streams, hybrid ceremonies and incorporating branding across the space. Exclusive hire of the venue includes the mezzanine gallery, with an optional green room. There is ample space at the entrance for a red carpet and step-and-repeat area. 

The open-plan main space is highly flexible and fully accessible, spanning over 32 metres in length and overseen by a dedicated onsite manager. We have curated a list of some of the best caterers in the city to provide a rich variety of options, from bowl food to sit-down meals. Located opposite Canary Wharf Underground Station, the venue benefits from excellent transport links, including the night tube.

WEDDINGS

A truly unique place to celebrate, East Wintergarden is one of London’s most impressive venues. Licensed for religious and civil ceremonies, it is an exclusive location with uninterrupted views of the water at Canary Wharf. The art deco-inspired glass architecture is flooded with natural light during the day, and transformed at night into a sparkling reception venue that lends itself well to any theme or season.

For weddings and civil ceremonies, there is a dedicated bride and groom drop-off outside the venue, a separate reception space on the mezzanine level of the building and an additional bridal suite or dressing room. Guests benefit from the convenience of nearby hotels as well as parking at Canary Wharf, which can be arranged on request. Our onsite venue manager will ensure the day runs seamlessly, working with an experienced in-house production team to provide bespoke lighting, sound and personalisation. An extensive catering list offers a wide range of cuisines and cultures, so that your day feels right for you.
