This huge brewery was in operation from 1936 to 2005, to be finally delocalized to Dublin. Only the marketing department remains in London in an ultra-modern building nearby.
Built by the famous English architect Giles Gilbert Scott, author of -among others- the famous Battersea Power Station, this brewery is organized into massive buildings linked between each others by aerial bridges.
The succession of the buildings follow the production process.
Malt & hop store, brewery, fermentation house, then vathouse and kegging plant and finally bottling plant.
The site even had its own power station, incredibly beautiful site completely untouched.
But also we managed to explore: labs, silos, rooftops, demolition machines, offices, radio room, hair salon... A king-size urban exploration in an incredible place, protected from vandalism...
i used to drive tankers for guiness a few years back and regularly delivered trailers on permanent nights to and from park royal to guinness warrington. my enduring memory of the place was the full ala carte staff resturant resembling a swanky top london resturant where several full chefs were on duty twenty four hours a day and you could order as much as you liked of anything you desired and was all totally free !, they would even assemble meals in boxes for the drivers to take with them on the run home.....happy days it saddened me greatly the day they announced it was to close.
