About Barge East
Board our 125-year-old Dutch barge and you'll find yourself floating on the River Lee with the London skyline stretching out before you. We've been hosting parties here at Barge East in Hackney Wick since transforming this historic vessel into one of the city's most distinctive celebration spaces. Our party venues spread across both the barge itself and the riverside gardens that surround us. The Captain's Cabin works beautifully for smaller gatherings, while our Terrace opens up for bigger celebrations with up to 120 guests. We've watched countless birthday parties unfold against the backdrop of the Olympic Stadium, corporate teams bonding over drinks on deck, and wedding receptions dancing late into the evening with the city lights reflecting off the water. The barge's original timber beams and maritime details create an atmosphere you won't find in any traditional party venue. Our award-winning kitchen serves seasonal British cuisine using ingredients from our own gardens - yes, we grow produce right here beside the water. Your guests can move between the cozy indoor dining areas and one of London's largest outdoor entertaining spaces, where our bartenders mix drinks while everyone takes in those panoramic river views. Just a short walk from Hackney Wick Station, we're easy for your guests to reach while feeling wonderfully removed from the usual party circuit. Our events team has helped organize everything from milestone birthdays to product launches, each one taking advantage of this floating venue's flexibility. The combination of our 124-year maritime history, those stunning skyline views, and the ability to offer both intimate indoor spaces and expansive outdoor areas means we can shape the space around your specific celebration, whether that's an elegant dinner party or a lively cocktail reception under the stars.
