Broadwick Group has completed the redevelopment of Canary Wharf venue, The Pelligon, hosting its first events this spring.
Formerly known as the East Wintergarden, The Pelligon is now named after its original architect, César Pelli, and now fully refurbished as a cultural hub for London.
Located within London’s financial district, adjacent to Canary Wharf station, The Pelligon is easily accessible via the London Underground, the DLR, and the Elizabeth Line, making it a very accessible for attendees.
Originally built as the sister to New York’s Winter Garden, The Pelligon can accommodate up to 400 people, from conferences and brand experiences to high-end celebrations. New spiral staircases allow access to its mezzanine and improved facilities.
Elisa Chiodi, managing director for Spaces and Innovation at Broadwick Group said: “We are proud to be bringing this iconic building back into use as a cornerstone of Canary Wharf’s event scene. A key concept of the re-imagining for the venue was to redesign the interior with neutral colours to create a blank canvas interior with excellent production facilities, making it suitable for productions of all kinds.”
Simon Tracey, Broadwick Group CEO added: “The Pelligon is more than just a venue, it’s a space that stands out by celebrating culture in all its forms by looking at things differently and people for who they really are. The huge glass roof evokes the Cathedral effect, which stimulates ideas, creative thinking and the feeling of freedom, making it a brilliant space for innovation and bringing people together to co-create.”
