Outdoor Space · 80 guests
· July 2022
I valued the really good communication with the venue right from my first enquiry, and being allocated an event manager for all queries and arrangements. I booked this venue because it has beautiful indoor and outdoor space - an elegant light airy room with access to a spacious walled courtyard which seems like a secret treasure in central London. And I also chose it because I could bring in an outside caterer. All the staff at the venue on the day were friendly, helpful and flexible and did everything to make the party a success. I'm so glad I found this venue.
It was difficult for the caterers not to have access to the kitchen. But the place is having a refurb and the facilities for outside caterers might improve.

Very lovely, quiet building. The friendliest staff. Great lighting. Just loved being here. Would happily book every meeting in this building if I could. Hidden gem for sure.
Wifi was a bit glitchy, but other than that everything was perfect.

Excellent communication
Always prompt and he understood straight away what I wanted and made it possible. He soon allocated Rafaela Rosas to be my event manager and she was brilliant.
