The Garlickhythe Rooms is the events arm of St James Garlickhythe, a Christopher Wren church commonly called 'Wren’s Lantern' for its bright, window-filled interior.

Venue highlights: The venue operates a promoted and ticketed-events programme and provides an on-site kitchen to support catered functions. The rooms offer a flexible layout that adapts to talks, recitals and seated receptions, and the building's fittings support staged presentations and performances.

Best for: Classical concerts and recitals; lectures and ticketed talks; memorial services and quiet ceremonies.
