Sticking with the theme of nurturing and growing we have this week highlighted our 5 favourite gardens in London to host an event. If you are looking for a 2017 outdoor summer party, one of these event garden’s might be just the place for you…

 

1. BMA House

A hidden gem in central London, The BMA House garden provides a tranquil setting for Drinks Receptions, Summer Parties, Barbecues and Weddings.  The Garden is always sold in conjunction with an indoor space, usually the contemporary Garden Room or the Snow Room and can accommodate 90 for a standing reception.

For those with literary interests, The Garden is built on the site of Tavistock House, once the home of novelist Charles Dickens.  Within the Garden there is a plaque marking the foundations of the house in which Dickens lived from 1851 to 1860. During this period he is thought to have written, Bleak House, Hard Times, and Great Expectations.

 

2. Middle Temple Hall

Located in the heart of London’s legal quarter, Middle Temple Hall is one of the four ancient Inns of Court. It has a beautiful garden overlooking the river Thames that accommodates 1500 for a standing reception. The secluded environment for both corporate and private events.

Middle Temple Hall was built between 1562 and 1573 and remains virtually unchanged to this day having survived the Great Fire of London and both World Wars. It continues to service the legal profession to this day.

 

3. Barbican

The Garden Room at the Barbican is actually a greenhouse style space with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Barbican Lakeside and the cityscape of London. Containing over 1,000 species of exotic plants you get all the benefits of being outside in a garden without having to worry about the weather. The venue can accommodate standing receptions for up to 300.

 

4. Royal College of Physicians

RCP garden is a lovely outdoor space overlooking Regent’s Park and containing over 1,000 medicinal plants. It can host 250 for a standing reception.

Every species of plant in the garden has a link to medicine. It may be a herb with a long history of use in folk tradition; it may have provided the model for a pharmaceutical drug; it may be a fibre plant used to make bandages or its botanical name may commemorate a Physician and honour a contribution to science.

 

5. Regents Conferences and Events

This beautiful venue boasts 4 acres of expansive lawns set within Regent’s Park available for exclusive hire and a range of delicious summer BBQ menus & packages suitable for team building, corporate hospitality & private events for 100-1,200 guests.
