About this space

Small, characterful and deeply connected to the site’s history, the Windmill Base offers a distinctive setting for intimate meetings, creative breakouts, residencies, small workshops and VIP holding.

London’s oldest surviving windmill and over 300 years old, this is a rare remnant of New River Head’s early history. Conserved and restored as part of the Centre, it brings the site’s water history into direct conversation with contemporary illustration, community projects and creative practice.

For venue hire, the Windmill Base works best as a supporting space within a larger event, a quiet breakout room, a small meeting space or a memorable stop within a guided journey across the site.

The Windmill Base can have community artwork installed as shown in the images, or this can be removed for your event by our exhibition technicians for a fee.
