what’s all this?
It’s only the return of the London Craft Beer Festival, back in the capital, but this year in a completely new location
where’s that then?
For 2025, the event has moved to Magazine on Greenwich Peninsula, just across the Thames from Canary Wharf.
when’s it taking place?
Visitors to the festival are invited to survey and sample its delights from July 18-19, 2025, with afternoon and evening sessions on both days.
These last for five hours from 11.30am-4.30pm and 6pm-11pm on both the Friday and Saturday.
so what’s on offer?
Tickets of all types include all beer (and the occasional craft cider), with more than 800 different brews on offer presented by over 100 breweries.
whet my whistle…
The list is extensive, but the festival will include a strong showing from some of London’s celebrated brewers including DEYA (voted top at last year’s inaugural Top 50 UK Beers awards), Verdant and Tiny Rebel.
There will be international visitors too with beers from the USA, Europe and Australasia including New Zealand’s Garage Project new for this year.
what if I don’t like beer?
Fear not, cider, sake, spirits and more will also be available for those who prefer alternative refreshments.

will we starve?
Certainly not.
To help soak up the beer, the festival will be serving up ramen from Bone Daddies, chicken from Chick N’ Sours, BBQ courtesy of From The Ashes, burgers by Meltdown Cheeseburgers and seasonal dishes from 10 Greek Street.
More food traders will be announced in due course.
and the dancing?
Promising to keep the party pumping, a programme of DJs, live music and other entertainments is planned.
how best to attend?
There are a number of ticket options for visitors to choose from.
Standard tickets cost £64.50 per person (did we mention every ticket type includes all beer and cider?).
Group tickets for four people cost £59.50 per person.
There are also options for fast-track entry and hospitality packages for larger groups.
how do I get there?
Magazine London isn’t a publication, but a purpose-built event venue, clad in black, right beside the river.
It’s located on Greenwich Peninsula, a short walk from North Greenwich Tube station, which is served by the Jubilee line and numerous bus routes.
Visitors can also travel to North Greenwich Pier on the Uber Boat By Thames Clippers River Bus service or from Royal Docks to the Peninsula via the Thames Cable Car.
