Look – and be seen. A versatile venue on the Canary Wharf riverfront made of glass and light, The Pelligon is a site to see. Here we celebrate culture in all its forms by looking at things differently and people for who they really are.
Celebrate in plain sight and see things in a new light, Look beyond the ordinary.
Designed by renowned architect Cesar Pélli as the sister to New York’s Winter Garden, The Pelligon blends art deco elements with futuristic flair for a see-through look that stands out. Soaring ceilings and floor-to-sky glass frontage arc into an eye-catching 27-metre glass dome that invites lots of natural light into a space to shape as you please.
Stage intimate gigs or host larger-than-life parties using every square inch of our 900 square metres. And at the hottest events of the year, invite guests to spill up onto the mezzanine or out onto the waterside terrace to catch a breath and reflect on the current.
