About this space

Lower Deck is a Hall in the Dreadnought Building defined by its cellar-like vaulted brick architecture, which gives the space an intimate, historic character.

Design: The room has a compact, low-ceiling layout organised into seating zones and service alcoves, finished with stone flooring, timber counters and visible mechanical services. The lighting is dimmable and wall-mounted, creating a sheltered, informal environment.

Features: The room includes an integrated PA system and speakers, mounted screens for AV and permission for guest DJs and own music. The layout provides a cleared dancefloor area, movable tables and chairs and bar counters, and the space has Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, step-free access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Student societies and community groups seeking a relaxed, music-led social gathering with space for dancing and informal seating.

What guests say: The Lower Deck is a popular, convenient meeting and social space for students and regularly hosts student-union activity.

Prom · 150 guests · July 2025

Even with all of my disorganised traits, the team did their best to accommodate and make the evening a success. We had the best prom ever, and its all down to the staff at Lower Deck, from the organisers to the bar staff, we had the best time. The venue itself is beautiful and a hidden gem in the heart of Greenwich! Would really recommend.

Charity Event · 300 guests · June 2024

Jess and Lukas onsite during the event were so helpful The venue looked fab once it was all set up. Great having all the lighting and AV in the room hire fee - just need to ensure someone onsite know how to use it all!

Responses from the venue were very slow and a lot of chasing had to happen but when they did come through Rianne was very helpful - I think the team are just very short staffed. Access is very difficult if you have a lot of items from the delivery load in area. There is no goods lift and we ended up using the wheelchair lift (which broke at the end of the day). The Kraken room really needs to be repainted/refreshed to be in line with the rest of the venue. It is very shabby in comparison with the rest!

30th Birthday Party · 100 guests · April 2024

Great venue, perfect for our event but the highlight was the staff. We had amazing service from Rianne before the event and during. On the night we had great communication and friendly service from Satvik, Inez, Blanca, Sam and the rest of bar and security team. Nothing was too much, incredibly helpful and definitely made the event run better with their input.
