The venue was perfect for our wedding. It had such a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, it really added to our celebration Alex and her lovely dog, Panic, couldn't do enough for us!

Would be better if more tables had been available, a small thing.

  • Chiara W. rated it 5/5 stars
    'The venue was absolutely fantastic for my birthday party - with great communication from the event manager running up to the party to the caretakers on the day, helping greatly with set up! A great space just a stone's throw away from Liverpool Street so also very easily accessible for guests - thanks for having us!'
  • Dania L. rated it 4.8/5 stars
    'The venue was stunning, a perfect 30th birthday venue in central London that felt very private and also very beautiful. All my guests had lots of compliments for the space. It didn’t need any decoration to improve the space for my event. The caretaker was on hand to help but also left us alone, which was good. The space is definitely worth visiting as it’s much better and bigger than the pictures too and included more outdoor area than I was expecting. It works well both in summer and winter as the space is cozy inside and the garden was lovely too.'
  • Ime A. rated it 5/5 stars
    'St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace is just a beautiful intimate space with endless potential. I booked the venue for my wife's 30th birthday and from consultation to the event day, the staff were very pleasant to communicate with and were always happy to help. A big thank you to Nelson who was on hand for anything we needed on the day and kept checking on us through the event. Wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars, I would.'
