The Tereza Joanne Boat is a distinctive nightclub venue located in the Royal Docks area of East London, United Kingdom. Originally built in the 1950s as a grain barge in the Netherlands, the boat was later converted into a hospitality venue and moored at King George V Dock, where it has been an unconventional fixture on London’s nightlife scene for decades. Its floating status and panoramic views of the Docklands have made it a unique destination for club-goers, party organizers, and event hosts seeking something out of the ordinary.
Over the years, the Tereza Joanne has developed a reputation as a welcoming and versatile space, hosting everything from extravagant club nights and live performances to weddings and community events. While not situated in the core of London’s traditional nightlife hubs, its waterfront location and nautical charm have attracted a loyal following, and it has become particularly beloved for its themed parties and dance music events. The structure itself has seen several refurbishments, with its interiors being updated periodically to keep pace with the changing expectations of London’s dynamic nightlife crowd.
The main deck features a spacious dancefloor, modern sound and lighting systems, and several bars, while the upper decks offer scenic vistas and quieter lounge spaces, all contributing to Tereza Joanne’s standing as a multifaceted venue. Over the years, the Tereza Joanne Boat has hosted a mix of international DJs and local talents, establishing itself as a platform for both emerging and established artists. Notable performers who have graced its decks include DJ Luck & MC Neat, Artful Dodger, Brandon Block, Nicky Blackmarket, MC Kie, Pied Piper, DJ Spoony, as well as local heroes like DJ S, DJ Pioneer, and MC DT, reflecting the venue’s strong ties to UK garage, house, and old-school rave culture.
