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!

About Dreadnought Building

Dreadnought Building is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Built in 1764, Dreadnought was originally an Infirmary of the Royal Naval Hospital and continued to be a (space for healing) until its closure in 1986. From 1999, the building hosted a library for the University of Greenwich for 15 years.

After a multi-million-pound refurbishment, the Dreadnought building is the centre of the University of Greenwich since September 2018. The building features brand new teaching spaces alongside everything a student needs outside of lectures; refreshments, social spaces and information points. Dreadnought is brand-new and modern; however, its history can still be seen within.

Greenwich Students’ Union is proud to offer this space for hire, which includes meeting rooms, the Quad exhibition space and its underground bar, The Lower Deck.

Please note: this venue is used within a university and therefore may have some restrictions on availability. Weekends are available to book between October-May and Monday-Sunday bookings are available between June-September.
