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.

Really good vibe. Security staff was really polite. Staff was very helpful setting up and preparing on arrival.

I didn't personally buy a drink because I was rhe birthday boy but people have said the drinks was expensive. I downloaded the drinks menu pre party and didn't seem expensive om the menu comparing to what people where paying. But other than that everything was excellent. Roll on next year! We go again bigger and better

Great Venue, Location, in house sound & lighting System. Under right management this could be a very successful, popular London Venue.

Venue Manager very difficult to deal with, very unresponsive to calls & requests. Once deposit & contract signed, did not fulfil some of their obligations & commitments, would say one thing then do another. Sadly empty promises. It is obvious the venue is new to outsourcing events for private or corporate enterprise. They run out of premium popular beers within 2 hours of arrival on day event & virtually all spirits & draught beer with still an hour to go of evening event. Fortunately due to covid we did not fill venue to capacity as people were not able to attend, otherwise I would have anticipated the poorly stocked bars & service on the day would have ruined our Christmas party should have all tickets sold attended. I was advised to sell VIP tables in advanced with drink packages at premium cost which were provided & advised there would be table service, which did not happen. They was unable to provide additional premium beers, spirits & champagne after this. This caused us complaints due to clients buying expensive VIP tables then having to go to bar for basic limited drinks offered. An expensive bracelet was lost & subsequently found by staff after the event which was great. However we was promised this would be sent in post & to date has yet to be received.

About Dreadnought Building

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.
