The recent gigs at Printworks brought together a diverse group of music lovers in a truly unique and special venue. It was a place where people could come together and enjoy some of the best techno music London has to offer. The news that the club was closing its doors was devastating for many fans, but now there's some exciting news to share – Printworks is making a comeback!
The iconic nightclub, located in Canada Water, London, had shut down after a successful season in 2023. However, the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) announced yesterday that the club will be reopening. This is fantastic news for anyone who has ever danced the night away to the sounds of top performers like the Chemical Brothers, Deadmau5, and Aphex Twin.
In a statement, the NTIA expressed their pleasure at the news that Printworks had received planning consent for redevelopment. They went on to say that this was a positive moment not just for London's nightlife, but for the cultural scene of the entire city. Printworks has always been a shining example of creativity and innovation, not just in the UK but around the world.
The club had to close its doors when Southwark Council approved a new redevelopment plan that would have transformed the former newspaper printing warehouse into office space. This was a major blow for techno lovers who saw Printworks as their mecca. However, it seems that the plans have been revised, although it's still uncertain when the club will be able to reopen.
The NTIA also acknowledged the incredible support from local authorities, the community, the music industry, and other key stakeholders in making this redevelopment possible. With everything now in motion, it won't be long before Printworks is back open and hosting unforgettable events once again.
The closure of Printworks was a significant loss for London, as it was just one of over 3,000 nightclubs, bars, and pubs that permanently shut down between March 2020 and December 2023. This raised questions about whether London could still be considered a "24-hour city," a topic that was heavily debated earlier this year. The London Mayor's office even claimed that the city was leading the world in its 24-hour policy, with other global cities looking to London for inspiration. However, this statement was met with skepticism, and the hashtag #LameLondon began trending on social media. People shared their frustrations about the lack of nightlife options, such as the limited Night Tube service and strict rules about drinking in public after a certain time.
But now, with the news of Printworks' comeback, there's hope that London's nightlife will once again thrive. For the latest updates on the city, be sure to visit The Agency's London news hub. And who knows, maybe in a few years, we'll see London living up to its "24-hour city" title once again.
