Printworks Return: Plans approved for permanent home in Canada Water

London’s iconic Printworks is set to rise from the ashes, with fresh planning approval to transform the space into a permanent cultural hotspot.

Once a titan of the electronic music scene, the legendary Canada Water venue is officially making its comeback—but with an unknown twist. Will it stay true to its roots or emerge as something entirely new? The anticipation is real.

Spring 2023 saw the final dance beneath its towering industrial ceilings, with acts like Black Coffee, Bicep, and Peggy Gou delivering unforgettable moments. Originally doomed to become offices, Printworks has now dodged that fate, securing its place as a cornerstone of UK culture once again.

This green light is a huge victory for London’s nightlife. Printworks wasn’t just a club; it was an institution, pushing the boundaries of creativity and sound. Now, thanks to the backing of local authorities and music lovers, it’s set to take the city’s cultural pulse to the next level.

With the future of one of the world’s most iconic venues secured, the question is—what’s next? Expect the unexpected, because Printworks is back, and it’s ready to make noise, reminding everyone why London remains at the cutting edge of global club culture.
