The Pelligon

About the venue

The Pelligon in the heart of London's Canary Wharf, opened in October 2003 and is proving to be a favourite for corporate and charity events.

The space is truly unique and has a light and elegant atmosphere perfect for exhibitions, cocktail parties, product launches and receptions and has played host to Christmas parties, networking events, Royal receptions, charity fund-raisers, lunches and banquets. In addition, unusual events such as evening film screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Billy Wilder classics have proved successful. The venue also hosts the week-long Canary Wharf Squash Classic tournament as well as Canary Wharf's acclaimed Motor Expo in June which also exhibits within the East Wintergarden, using the truss to fly objects in the high ceiling space. This modern and stylish venue, designed by Cesar Pelli and based on the Wintergardens in New York, boasts 682sq metres of coloured marble floor and steamed beech wood wall panelling, comfortably accommodates 500 for banqueting and 800-1000 for receptions. The main feature of the venue is the impressive arched glass atrium, which measures 27m at its highest point. The gallery, spanning the full width of the venue overlooks Jubilee Park and the waterfront promenade of Heron Quay, is also available to hire for smaller functions of up to 250 guests and provides additional space for reception drinks, lounge bar or a games area. Adjacent to the entrance to the Jubilee Line Station and a short walk from Canary Wharf and Heron Quays DLR stations, the East Wintergarden is less than 15 minutes from the City, the West End and London City Airport, making it the ideal venue for any London and South East based organisations.
