Self Catering · 20 guests
The venue is beautiful, such a calm, serene place to hold a marketing workshop. There was lots of natural light and plenty of space for 20 people to move around. Solène and her colleagues were extremely helpful.
There weren't enough cups and cutlery for 20 people in the kitchen, we had to grab some from the cafe. Otherwise all good.

We had a private birthday party for an 8 year old with an extra 20 children! They all had a great time!
The team managed to organise Peter Rabbit 2!
Lovely people working there, very nice and patient and they helped a lot.
The cinema is small, very clean and perfect for private such events. Also accessible with lift and great transport connection! It’s 2mins walk from South Kensington tube stop and loads of buses that stop around too. It also has paid parking in the street. Handy!
We will definitely recommend to friends, family and school!
