About this space

This 900 year old garden is believed to be the longest continually cultivated garden in England.

Offering magnificent views of the Abbey and the Victoria Tower, part of the Palace of Westminster, College Garden is an idyllic space for a reception, dinner, lunch or daytime business conference.

In June and July a stylish marquee with a decked porch area, and glass front and sides, is provided.

Outside of these months a marquee can be arranged to accommodate your event.

For 1000 years, the Abbey has hosted a fantastic variety of events; the crowning of kings and queens, weddings, christenings and proclamations were all held within this magnificent building.

Today, you too can experience the tantalising prospect of celebrating your event in a location steeped in history and complete with 21st century ambience.

We can include a private tour of the Abbey for your guests as part of our package.
