Venue Testimonials
One of London's hidden gems. The Summer retreat for many centuries for the Bishops of London. Beautiful grade 1 listed building with a Tudor clock tower courtyard with a raised stone circular pond at it's centre. [...] The gardens are the home of at least two of "the Great Trees of London". Situated in close proximity to The River Thames and the starting line for the annual Boat Race.

We had our marriage ceremony in the Bishop Sherlock's room. It was an absolutely fantastic location, a bright and airy room which was beautiful. Our guests enjoyed the string quartet in the courtyard when we went with our photographer to the Victorian walled garden to get some wedding photos taken. The location is fantastic and the gardens are beautiful.

Such a beautiful and historic place. I have been to celebrations here. The gardens are lovely and such a treat to come and meet friends over a cool glass of wine. Good selection of food. Such a delight when the sun comes out.
