Garden Museum London Events

Situated on the banks of the River Thames, the Garden Museum London is a unique, spectacular venue nestled next to Lambeth Palace and with views across the river to the Houses of Parliament. The museum is dedicated to the art, history, and design of gardens, and occupies a formerly abandoned medieval church full of stunning original and restored features.

Guests are welcomed into the leafy surrounds before making their way into the two event spaces: the Nave, a dramatic space within the former church, complete with vaulted ceilings, looming pillars, and stained-glass windows; or the newer Sackler Garden, an outdoor area designed by the award-winning Dan Pearson, with a contemporary glass-lined and bronze cloister that circles the garden.

The Garden Museum is a versatile space, with a dedicated team of in-house experts on hand to help you host corporate events, receptions and large presentations. 

Blending contemporary and medieval design alongside luscious greenery and food from London’s top caterers, the Garden Museum is sure to impress. Take advantage of the late licence option to make the most of this beautiful venue.
