Printworks is one of London’s most famous superclubs, as well as one of the world’s must-visit dance/electronic music venues. According to an article from DJ Mag, Printworks just received approval for its planning application that property developers British Land and AustralianSuper submitted earlier this year so that it can redevelop itself into a permanent venue for “cultural use”. The last time Printworks hosted events was back in Spring 2023, particularly when it hosted its farewell event on May 1st of last year, which featured the likes of Bicep, Peggy Gou, Dixon, and DJ Koze as some of the headliners there.
The initial plan the property developers had was to restructure the 53-acre Surrey Quays site where Printworks placed itself and rebuild it with luxury flats, shops, offices, and restaurants. Fast forward to the present day, Printworks looks like it will make a phenomenal and unforgettable return as a result of this planning approval. Amongst the names that could not contain its excitement for the Printworks planning approval for redevelopment is the Night Time Industries Association and shown below is a statement from its CEO, Michael Kill.
