My studio address is;

TW-05
*Thames-Side Studios
Harrington Way (off Warspite Road)

* Please note we have just had a change in management (from 17th June 2016) and any signs / info that say Second Floor Studios and Arts should now read Thames-Side Studios but some old signage may remain. 
  The TW bit stands for Trinity Wharf  as it is right on the waterfront. Trinity Wharf is part of Thames-Side Studios.

There are over 450 practitioners here incorporating a diverse community of emerging artists and long established businesses.
