Sugar Studio

A former Tate & Lyle sugar factory on Greenwich Peninsula, converted into a five-space production and events complex with one of the largest infinity coves in London. Sugar Studio operates at a scale and specification that most blank canvas venues outside central London can't match — and the SE10 postcode means budgets stretch further than equivalent square footage in Zone 1.

The Big Space and Infinity Stage

The Big Space is the main event room: 12.9 by 21 metres with 7.8-metre ceilings, a sprung wooden floor, remote-controlled mechanical truss rigging from ceiling to floor, and ground-floor access through double doors wide enough for vehicle drive-in. West End productions including The Lion King and Tick Tick Boom have rehearsed here. The Infinity Stage — a bespoke U-shaped cove measuring 12.8 by 11.5 metres with 9.2-metre ceilings and its own drive-in capability — is one of London's biggest, built for shoots, virtual production, and launches that need seamless backdrop control.

Production Facilities at Sugar Studio

The complex connects through a central foyer to additional spaces including the University Suite and Blackout Studio, with a vintage-chic lounge, botanical café (Sugar Café), and a 30-metre private road outside. Hair and makeup rooms, dressing rooms, showers, washing machines, private kitchen, and mezzanine-level green rooms and offices sit within the building. Exclusive venue hire combines all spaces.

Sugar Studio for Events

Dry hire gives full creative control — bring your own caterers, suppliers, and production. The venue is also fully licensed with in-house catering available. The alcohol licence runs until 11pm with extensions. Free on-site parking simplifies load-in logistics. Minimal noise restrictions give evening events headroom that central London venues can't offer. North Greenwich station is a ten-minute walk, with the river close by. For events where creative freedom, production infrastructure, and budget efficiency matter more than a SW1 postcode, Sugar Studio offers a combination that's genuinely hard to find elsewhere in London.
