The site’s recent renovation celebrates the raw and functional architecture of the Royal Docks, from the exposed brick walls that tell the building’s layered history to the original concrete floors and exposed steel pillars. The venue is named after the factory-style light wells in the roof beams that flood the main space with natural light, making it a natural home for artists and emerging creatives.

Unfortunately, the premises is currently closed, and people are hoping for it to reopen.
