About this space

The Waterside Room is one of our most striking spaces with riverside views, exposed red brick walls and beamed ceiling.

Large windows and double doors open out onto the canal, not only providing a fabulous backdrop but also flooding the room with lots of natural light and fresh air.

When dressed, the room is a stunning choice for any reception, party or special occasion including weddings.

For organisers who need multiple spaces, the Waterside Room is located right next to the Kingston Theatre, our state-of-the-art auditorium, and has easy access to our landscaped Courtyard.
