Printworks

It was my first time at Printworks. The bars and main room club area are fantastic. It didn't take too long to get a drink at any point and there's lots of space to dance. I also like the fact the music is the same volume throughout. Plenty of quality speakers all around the main room. It's a shame the music isn't as clear upstairs on the balcony area though.
I have to say the toilets really let the place down in my opinion. The ladies toilets are small and cramped considering the amount of people attending. The addition of a few portable loos was quite strange. They were smelly and very dirty throughout the night, not what you expect from a premier London venue. I saw a lot of unused space downstairs. Could that be used for additional toilets in the future?
The atmosphere was great though and the crowd control and flow of people coming up and down stairs was well managed. The music was better than I expected although not much jungle. Randall’s set was terrible and no one was dancing! My Nu Leng were amazing and Chase & Status didn’t disappoint.

Oh what a night!

It was my first time to Printworks and I was night impressed! A daytime club, I was a bit sceptical! But the converted printworks factory was a perfect venue.

Security was tight and there was a drug amnesty at the door, I had never seen that before.

The place is massive and the crowds were insane!

There were a few bars and an outside courtyard for food!

The venue was super cool, think dark, strobe lights and lasers!

The DJ sets were awesome! Printworks opens at midday.

Annoyingly there is a no re entry policy, and entry is before 5pm and the place closes at midnight!

Top tip

Lockers are £6 and don’t take in any big bags, chewing gum or whistles!

Printworks in the daytime seemed a bit of an odd idea, but it really worked - the venue was amazing, and the DJ sets were fabulous: I danced my feet raw!

The club was rammed, and as a result the atmosphere made you forget how early in the day it was. And, there were even decent food and drink offerings.

The only irritation, really, was the no re-entry policy, but that was minor.

Totally recommended!

Love it here, lovely staff, especially the security guys. They made my night after being treated terribly by the bouncers at Yates!

Visited the printworks for the first time today and was disgusted by two of your security (a really tall one with a beard and a guy that looks like Drake) both were rude and extremely unhelpful. I had a great time until one of my friends bags had been taken in one of the bars and when leaving my friend approached one of the security from the printworks to ask if they could help only to be told that they had better things to do than spend time helping some piss head look for a bag she had misplaced. I tried explaining to them that my friend didn’t drink (due to her religion) and she just had a speech impediment but they turned their back and walked away. This is not what I expect of someone who is meant to be their to help and secondly is meant to represent what is meant to be a family friendly venue. I understand that these two must have been having a bad day (or just don’t understand why they are in their job) as the other security I spoke to at the other end of the building were friendly and helpful so I think these two are just a bad pair in otherwise a good team.

Such an incredible place. Never been to a venue like this. High tech.. completely secure  and independent from other places. Easy to get to. Very organized. High security checks. Great bars and toilets. Massive open floor with great lighting and audio. Insane!

Great venue, they have excellent line ups and it’s a really unique and cool place. It’s massive and fairly well organised. However, there is one huge problem, the male toilets are absolutely disgusting and not fit for purpose. The toilets are really small for a venue of this size and worse still, half the cubicle doors don’t lock, or they don’t have lights, or they are blocked. During a recent event around half the cubicles were not functioning and those that were were in a vile condition, word’s can’t even describe!

Very large place, good area for drinks with 2 bars (May be more) main stage is a huge rectangular room with a large roof. Many people can fit in here and on the balcony parts overlooking on the floors above. Very good speakers and good artists. Balls it for best stealth

What an incredible venue and space. Well set out. Lots of room for bars and sitting with drinks. Good food - more stalls would be good! But overall brilliant. I enjoy it every time. Lots of loos too!

Came for Hydra London's event 'Photon' curated by Ben Klock. Best venue in London for big scale warehouse vibes. The production value is off the scale. A true audio-visual delight. Reminds everyone of Berghain and with good reason. The food outside is good too. Had a waffle burger from Bird which was delicious. Regular prices for beer £6 a pint. 10/10!

Absolutely class venue. Been twice, once for a private party and then Hospitality. Banging sound system, loads of space, never a queue at the bar and fair prices for drinks by London standards. So well organised makes raving all the easier and more fun  

Great venue. I always have a good time. However some of my guy friends have been very aggressively frisked by bouncers in the past. Searches are well beyond thorough and bordering into some form of physical harrassment.

Great staff- easy to locate and access if you need help which is pretty rare! The lights and sound system are great, I prefer room 2. Plenty of space to dance. It is often pretty cold but i guess you can't possibly keep somewhere like that warm. Both times I went it was a token system- hate that! Ladies toilets are spacious- a welcome change.

I love Printworks. Great venue, always space if you want it. Recommend going for a specific event thought, I've been in the past on a random Friday night and it wasn't the same. Definitely go to see an artist you like!

One if the best Nights of my life. It depends on who you are going to see but an absolutely amazing venue with bars and great security. Also lockers to keep your clothes which is nice.

Amazing venue! The space was more than enough and the staff was incredibly polite! Only issues were that the music was a little on the quieter side (I was there for an Amelie Lens concert) and the queuing took up a solid 30-40 minutes. Definitely will be coming back though! Amazing atmosphere! There are also food stands in the courtyard which have some varied and delicious food!

A great music venue, been here a few times and have had a great time. As well as different music rooms there is a food court which usually has a variety of food stalls as well as a bar or two where you can pick up a drink outside.
