UPGRADES TO SITE

The Gin Still was revamped into three floors of modern creative offices. The Screening Room was refurbished with care to offer the magic of old-school cinema with all the latest technology. We refurbished our Cafe area, now a bustling creative hub with the help of our new hospitality partner, Jones & Sons, who provide a variety of delicious, fresh food every day.

3 MILLS BEHIND THE STUDIOS

This year we welcomed the Mayor of London on a tour around the site, we joined a new TV Access Project (TAP) training programme to focus on improving accessibility, and we planted our new wildflower garden for the site.

A big thanks for those of you who came to join us for an evening on the sunny cobbles at our 3 Mills Summer Party!
