About this space

Courtyard and Orangery is a private outdoor space at Haberdashers Hall, an enclosed paved courtyard centred on a tiered fountain.

Design: The courtyard is framed by red-brick façades and regular rectangular windows, paved in light stone and punctuated by planted pots and palms that introduce greenery under an open sky.

Features: The space has Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, with an adjoining orangery that provides an indoor option beside the courtyard. Entertainment options include own music and a bring‑your‑own‑DJ policy subject to the space's noise restrictions. Accessibility is provided via a step‑free guest entrance and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Corporate teams and social groups will find the space suited to standing receptions and relaxed, social gatherings.

What sets it apart: A secluded courtyard shielded by surrounding brick façades, providing privacy and a calm setting away from nearby streets.

What guests say: The space is airy and well lit, combining traditional details with modern lines. The garden and courtyard areas are well maintained and the layout allows easy circulation between adjoining areas.
