The Old Truman Brewery, East London's revolutionary arts and media quarter, is home to a hive of creative businesses as well as exclusively independent shops, galleries, markets, bars and restaurants. For fifteen years the Old Truman Brewery has been regenerating its ten acres of vacant and derelict buildings into spectacular office, retail, leisure and event spaces. The finely tuned mix of business and leisure has created an environment unique in London, making the Old Truman Brewery a destination in its own right.
The Boiler House is a stunning industrial brick warehouse venue. With soaring ceilings, large windows and skylights the space is flooded with natural light and feels spacious and airy. Dating back to the 1830s with many of its original features intact - including the famous 49m high Truman Chimney in the centre of the 7,750 sq ft room and the quarry tiled floor. For summer evenings and outdoor shoots the Boiler House benefits from a large rear courtyard area. Ideal for hosting parties, gala dinners, exhibitions and intimate trade shows, this is one of the most original venues in London.
