Tobacco Dock Venue LTD

London's most exciting and innovative venue. We pride ourselves in helping to make conferences exciting and engaging experiences.
(377)

We work with leading global brands to host everything from trade shows and conferences for thousands to corporate parties and fashion shows. To***co Dock is a unique venue which works for a spectrum of event types from conferences to live music events and everything in between. With 57 spaces over 16,000sqm, it is endlessly flexible and offers outstanding event production and customer service. We

are well served by public transport links and the open, adaptable layout makes us a popular location for consumer events such as London Tattoo Convention, Bike Shed, Taste of London and Meatopia. Delegate feedback is overwhelmingly positive on the unique atmosphere of To***co Dock and the ways in which our offering is so different to events they are used to attending. We’re able to be immensely creative in our set-ups and there are none of the generic spaces you might find elsewhere. This characterful backdrop is something which our clients often use to their advantage – creating immersive journeys between the spaces, utilising the spaces in unexpected ways and incorporating original elements such as event gamification. Our catering team, To***co Dock Food, work with a variety of briefs and are adept at providing spectacular food from street food to formal banquets for small gatherings to +1000 diners.

The London Docks opened at the end of January in 1805. To***co Dock was still a twinkle in the engineer John Rennie's eye (it wasn't built until 1812-3), but we've loved looking at these images building up the iconic dockland background!

Thanks to the Institution of Civil Engineers for their original post.

19/01/2023

As you can see, the Venue Ops team are delighted with our brand-new jackets and jumpers, just in time for this latest cold snap 🥶

23/12/2022

🌟 The final achievement on our list is our favourite and, of course, it's our sensational team.

We're raising a glass to each and every one of them and wishing them a well-deserved break over the Christmas period 🥂🎄

22/12/2022

On the penultimate day of our retrospective, we look at the showcase moments that have helped us realise how far we've come and how much we have to be proud of.

Our last showcase took place at the start of 2020, and obviously that was followed by a testing time for the industry (understatement!?). It's amazing to be seeing live events back with such energy and confidence and we cannot wait to see what lies ahead.

21/12/2022

Day 12 and we're thinking back to the time in 2017 we thought it might be a good idea to set up a pop-up bar on the roof of our carpark.

We hoped it would be success but we couldn't have imagined how popular it would turn out to be! Fast forward to 2022 and not only is Skylight London at To***co Dock now a permanent fixture, but we've even expanded to a stunning rooftop in Peckham.

20/12/2022

Day 11 on the To***co Dock decade's retrospective and we're remembering another famous visitor.

In terms of VIPs, we don't think you get much more 'Very Important' than our new King! He visited in February 2015 for an event for Business in the Community - a business network project he was a patron of as the Prince of Wales.

19/12/2022

Powering into Day 10 of our trip down memory lane and we're looking back at some moments of wonder.

In 2014, Quayside provided the parking spot for 'Thrust', the supersonic car that had just smashed the land speed record at 1,149kph 💨

A few years later, Richard Browning wowed the crowds by flying around the Bandstand using his jet pack - a health and safety dream for the Operations team!

17/12/2022

Day 9 and we're thinking back to some of the delicious moments brought to us by our many foodie clients.

We're fortunate to have helped so many food and beverage shows put on extraordinary events in the past, but we're always hungry for more!

16/12/2022

Day 8 on our decade's reminiscences and another way attendees have worked up a sweat in the Great Gallery!

14/12/2022

'Pinch me' moments are all in a day's work here at To***co Dock Venue LTD. Day 7 and we're looking back to when we met some more of our heroes.

13/12/2022

Day 6 of our trip down memory lane and this time it's an unusual one!

The low head heights of our multi-storey carpark make it unsuitable for modern vehicles, but as it so happens, its ramps and angles made it perfect for racing bikes!

You can read up about and see more photos of the Parkour Ride event in this article from the time in The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2014/oct/06/parkour-ride-in-pictures

12/12/2022

Time for memory number 5!

Is there a more dramatic space to work up a sweat than beneath the historic timbers of the Great Gallery?

We love To***co Dock for health and fitness events, and over the years we've worked out with lululemon, Gymshark, PerformX Live and, of course, Nike!

10/12/2022

Less than a week to go till London Craft Beer Festival London Christmas Beer Festival!

09/12/2022

We're rounding off the week with another of our favourite moments of the past decade, and today it's a very recent one!

After the disruption faced by the events industry over the past couple of years due to Covid, the return of large-scale events such as Xerocon has been so exciting.

We've just published the for this stand-out event, so to find out how we, Xero and their production and global live brand storytelling agency, INVNT worked together to bring it to life, follow the link: https://www.tobaccodocklondon.com/case-studies/xerocon/

Day 3 of our Decade of To***co Dock highlights - when we were stars of the screen!

Chances are you've seen the interior of To***co Dock in more places than you realise! As well as hosting the world's leading brands' events, our unique architecture makes us a popular location for filming. We've been in the background of everything from adverts to feature films - keep your eyes peeled...

Turning the Vaults into a Mexican fiesta for Venom: Let There Be Carnage was another unusual moment in To***co Dock's history! https://filmlondon.org.uk/latest/venom-let-there-be-carnage-the-making-of-at-tobacco-dock

07/12/2022

Food is a passion for many of the team at To***co Dock, so it's no surprise that Day 2 of our decade's highlights series is another foodie moment!

Creating a vegetarian dish that would hold up against the smoky meatiness of Meatopia was no mean feat, but we remember the queue for Ottolenghi's celeriac dish was one of the longest at the festival.

06/12/2022

🌟In the run-up to Christmas we'll be looking back at some of the stand-out memories of our first ten years - the brilliant, the unusual, the inspiring and the ones that make us burst with pride. 🌟

The first of our decade's highlights comes from our Director of Business Development, Vicki Coleman, who has been with us since 2013.

Though the first of our fully vegan events, LUSH was by no means the last. We know that a good event runs on its stomach and we love working with our in-house catering team, To***co Dock Food, and our clients to create menus that truly represent their brand values and are delicious and beautiful too!

*H A P P Y * H O L I D A Y S !* The To***co Dock team would like to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to all our US friends. We've loved working with you over the past year and can't wait to welcome you to London, and To***co Dock, in 2023! Wishing you all a peaceful and fun holiday season.

This International Women's Day we celebrate our female magnificent team members (as well as those from To***co Dock Food and Skylight London) and their incredible ambition, drive and energy. We're proud to have such a range of talents and expertise on our team and of our high proportion of women in leadership roles here at To***co Dock! International Women’s Day not only gives us the opportunity to champion the incredible female members of our dynamic and ambitious team, but it also provides a chance to reflect on the ways in which we practically go about supporting women throughout the events industry. We're delighted to be supporting the great work of Fast Forward 15, a not-for-profit set up by Fay Sharpe OBE to nurture women in the events industry. If you are a woman looking to supercharge your career, you've still got a little time to get that application in! Find out a bit more in our blog past: https://www.tobaccodocklondon.com/blog/international-womens-day/

As we (Yule) log off for the festive break, we'd like to wish you all a wonderfully Merry Christmas. 🌟 Thank you to everyone we've worked with this year - we can't wait to continue creating extraordinary events with you all in 2022! 🌟 However you're celebrating, we wish you joy, peace and more mince pies than you know what to do with 🎄 . #EventProfs #EventProfsUK #GoingOutLondon #LondonVenue #ChristmasPud #ExploreLondon #ChristmasCheer
