In the spotlight: Magazine London & why it’s so special
We’re thrilled to be back at the prestigious Magazine London this October for our Gala Ceremony. Let’s dive into why this state-of-the-art venue is so special and the perfect place to celebrate and recognise the best global packaging design of the year.
We’re thrilled to be back at the prestigious Magazine London this October with our Gala Ceremony. One of the largest purpose-built hybrid spaces in London, it boasts of fantastic views, location and transport links, so let’s dive into why it’s so special.
Location, Location, Location
Sitting at the tip of the Greenwich Peninsula on the south bank of the River Thames, it's a stone’s throw from the O2 and the Design District, London’s first purpose-built district made specifically for the creative community. With brilliant transport links into the centre of the city, close to North Greenwich tube station, it's also easily reached by taxi, so Addison Lee will have no problem running you around on the night!
But the real gem of the location is that uninterrupted view of the city skyline that has captured our heart. Night or day, it’s an impressive backdrop, and the perfect setting for a celebration like the Pentawards Gala Ceremony.
A Blank Canvas
With plenty of space, brilliant light and a the highest-quality technical infrastructure. It’s a complete blank canvas which allows us to truly bring the magic alive on the night.
As you first enter, there’s a huge room for dancing, drinking and networking, with some exciting activations and that incredible backdrop. The second room will host the prestigious awards, with room for three catwalks and three stages, allowing all of our trophy winners to get on stage. This is where you’ll accept the awards, enjoy a 3-course meal and of course celebrate with your colleagues and clients, it’s your time to shine!
