The Winter Club Entertainment Venue, Canary Wharf, London

A seasonal pop-up entertainment venue in Canary Wharf needed a full data cabling resilient backbone for ticketing, POS, Wi‑Fi, media, and back-of-house systems, alongside comprehensive CCTV coverage.

The Winter Club

Client: Urban Playground

Project Type: CCTV, Wi-Fi and Cat6a cabling installation.

Background: Located on Union Square in Wood Wharf, The Winter Club is a seasonal pop-up destination created by Urban Playground, the team behind THE CUBE in Canary Wharf. Bringing together a Bavarian-style Bierhaus, a –10°C real-ice bar and an alpine-inspired chalet, the venue delivers a high-footfall, entertainment-led environment that demands robust connectivity and reliable security.​

Project brief

ACCL was appointed to design and install the structured data cabling and CCTV infrastructure to support The Winter Club’s operations across all three distinct spaces. The client required a resilient backbone for ticketing, POS, Wi‑Fi, media, and back-of-house systems, alongside comprehensive CCTV coverage to protect guests, staff and assets in a busy, late-night leisure environment.

Challenges:

  • Temporary pop up structure with a short build lead time.
  • Multi-trades on site including events and hospitality staff
  • Subzero temperatures in the ice bar

Our Solution

Our team delivered a high-performance structured cabling system to serve bar operations, entertainment systems and staff networks throughout the Bierhaus, Ice Bar and chalet areas. Careful routing and containment ensured that all cabling remained discreet, preserving the themed décor and guest sightlines.

A network of strategically positioned Ubiquiti high-definition CCTV cameras provides clear coverage of entrances, bar areas, circulation routes and key operational zones. The system is integrated with secure recording and remote access, giving management full visibility of the site and supporting both safety and compliance in a complex, temperature‑variant environment.

The whole site is serviced by a ubiquti integrated Wi-Fi system, with discreet APs mounted around the site to provide maximum covergae and performance.

Outcome

With the new Cat6a data cabling, Wi-Fi and CCTV infrastructure in place, The Winter Club benefits from stable connectivity for payment, booking and operational systems across the entire venue. This underpins a seamless guest experience, from busy beer hall service to timed Ice Bar sessions, even at peak festive trading times.​

The discreet but comprehensive surveillance solution helps safeguard visitors and staff while supporting efficient incident review and site management. Together, these systems provide a resilient technical backbone for a high-profile, short-term installation that must perform reliably from launch through to the end of the winter season.
