Live Shows at Magazine London
Magazine London has established itself as one of the capital’s go-to venues for live music and entertainment. The venue’s industrial aesthetic, high ceilings, and flexible layout make it well suited for any live show.
Space 2, with a capacity of 3,000, provides a standing floor ideal for large live shows, while The Showground outdoor space can accommodate up to 7,000 guests, offering the scale needed for festival-style programming.
Dinners & Receptions at Magazine London
Magazine London venue hire is well suited to large-scale dinners and receptions, offering the kind of open, high-ceiling spaces that lend themselves to dramatic event design. Space 1 and Space 2 can accommodate seated dinners for large audiences, and their open-plan nature allows for creative stage and seating configurations that can be tailored around the event’s requirements.
The Mezzanine Magazine spaces work well as pre-dinner reception areas or for hosting breakout moments during multi-part events. Mezzanine 2, with a capacity of 580, is particularly well suited to a standalone drinks reception or a welcome gathering ahead of a main dinner in one of the larger spaces.
When the weather allows, The Showground outdoor space provides the option to extend an event outside or to host an entirely outdoor reception, with capacity for up to 7,000 guests.
Conferences at Magazine London
Magazine London is a practical and flexible choice for conferences, offering large, column-free spaces that can be configured to suit a range of formats, from keynote-led events to multi-stream programmes with breakout sessions. Space 1 and Space 2 provide the scale needed for larger delegate audiences, while the Mezzanine Magazine spaces are well suited to smaller sessions, registration areas, or networking zones running alongside the main conference. North Greenwich station (Jubilee line) sits directly adjacent to the venue, making it easy for delegates to travel in from across London and further afield.
Event Concept has experience delivering conferences at Magazine London, including the final event in Dentsu’s Seichō series — a global programme built around the theme of growth. Working to reflect Dentsu’s 120-year heritage and their Sanpo Yoshi values, we developed a concept that blended social impact with business purpose. Taking inspiration from Sukiya architecture, we designed an open, natural-feeling space using sustainable materials, with a sculptural Sinamay blossom tree as the centrepiece — an installation that encouraged reflection and connection across the room.
The result was an event that resonated well beyond the day itself. Across six events in three cities, the series reached 2,500+ attendees and 48+ speakers.
