Outdoor Space · 80 guests · July 2022 · Voysey

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.

Meeting · 16 guests · February 2022 · Boardroom

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.
