We are committed to providing our students with real-world learning experiences that prepare them for successful careers and progression in the event industry. That’s why we are incredibly grateful to London Bridge City for their generosity in supporting the next generation of event professionals.
Recently, our students had the fantastic opportunity to explore some of London Bridge City's remarkable event spaces, guided by our Senior Event Management Lecturer, Nick Oxborrow.
This experience offered invaluable insight into the practicalities of planning and delivering events in a high-profile, central London location.
An Iconic Setting for World-Class Events
Spanning the vibrant riverside between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, London Bridge City is home to some of the capital’s most sought-after event spaces. This dynamic destination offers a unique blend of historic charm, modern facilities, and breathtaking Thames views—making it a prime location for corporate functions, cultural festivals, markets, and public events.
Among its standout venues is Hay’s Galleria, an impressive Grade II listed mixed-use building that embodies both heritage and contemporary appeal. With its distinctive warehouse-style Grade A office space, premium retail, leisure, and residential opportunities, Hay’s Galleria is more than just a landmark—it’s a hub for business, culture, and community engagement.
For event professionals, venues like Hay’s Galleria provide the perfect canvas to craft immersive experiences, with flexible spaces that cater to everything from pop-up activations to large-scale public celebrations. The ability to work in such a setting is a dream for any aspiring event manager, and our students were able to gain first-hand knowledge of what it takes to bring events to life in a prestigious location.
