The Fridge
REF: STU_041
About
A 5,000 sq ft heritage warehouse in London's Royal Docks, originally built as a cold store in 1914 and now transformed into a contemporary cultural and events venue.
The main space retains the character of the original building, with six metre high ceilings, large windows on three sides and original hoists and tackle. A new floor, bar and modern facilities have been introduced while retaining the scale and industrial character of the building.
The venue has a 24 hour entertainment licence and is suited to a wide range of events, including live music, exhibitions, parties, weddings, conferences, markets, screenings, launches and presentations. The open plan space can be configured for different formats, with event furniture, tables and chairs available and preferred suppliers for event services.
Outside, 2.5 acres of accessible land to the rear provide additional space for outdoor activities, overflow areas and marquees. The venue also has a front area suitable for unit vehicles, on site parking for 14 cars and additional parking for up to 100 cars at the nearby rowing club.
The Fridge can also accommodate photography and filming, with blackout available and a combination of the warehouse interior, surrounding land and Royal Docks setting providing additional options for productions.
The venue is directly adjacent to Royal Albert DLR station, providing easy access from across London.
