Troxy is a Grade II-listed Art Deco music venue on Commercial Road in Stepney, London. Built as a cinema in 1933, it closed in 1960 and became a training school for the London Opera Centre. The venue was reborn as a live events space in 2006, and has continued to be used for concerts and other events ever since, hosting prestigious awards ceremonies, gigs, film screenings, including Secret Cinema screenings and sporting events.
“We’re thrilled to confirm that the TIGA Games Industry Awards nominations are open for 2023 and that the presentation ceremony will take place at Troxy in London,” said TIGA’s CEO Dr Richard Wilson OBE. “Our venue is particularly special, and is sure to provide a spectacular setting as we recognise excellence in game development, education, technological innovation and services.
