An event space is set to open next to Battersea Power Station.
The new venue, called NEON, will be the first purpose-built entertainment and cultural exhibition space in central London.
It will be located on Circus Road East and is set to open in spring 2025.
NEON is a global leader in immersive experiences and exhibitions, and the new venue will bring its experiences to the heart of the city.
Construction of the venue is well underway, with the 128-tonne, 3,200 square metre roof structure successfully lifted and installed earlier this year.

The venue was designed by Expo Pavilion Group (EPG | UAU-Studio) and Star Live acted as the principal contractor and design engineers.
The exhibition space will showcase selected experiences from NEON’s repertoire of acclaimed and award-winning touring engagements like Machu Picchu, the Golden Empires of Peru, and Jurassic World: The Exhibition.
Ron Tan, CEO and executive chairman of NEON, said: “We are thrilled to announce the opening of a brand-new exhibition space and look forward to bringing our world-renowned immersive experiences to Battersea Power Station, which has quickly established itself as a vibrant centre of creativity and community since the restored Power Station opened its doors to the public for the first time in history in October 2022.”
Battersea Power Station is home to more than 150 shops, bars, restaurants, and leisure venues.
With its annual events programme featuring highlights such as the Light Festival, celebrASIA, and Christmas at Battersea Power Station, the riverside neighbourhood has firmly established itself as a cultural hub in central London.

NEON’s new space will contribute to the riverside neighbourhood’s thriving cultural offering and will open in the month which marks the beginning of Wandsworth’s year as The London Borough of Culture.

“We are excited to see Londoners and visitors from further afield come together to enjoy these globally celebrated experiences and we’re delighted to open this exciting new exhibition space in the year that Wandsworth has been named The London Borough of Culture.”
