Venue Testimonials
My new wife and I got married at GYC last month. We loved this distinct and unique venue as soon as we saw it, and it turned out to be a great choice. The setting received rave reviews from guests throughout the day, but above all, the staff repeatedly went above and beyond to ensure that everything flowed seamlessly. I can't find fault with anything. And all this at a very reasonable price relative to many other venues in London - I think many of the guests assumed we had spent a small fortune for such a location! Highly recommended.

Fabulous venue. Thank you to all of the staff and helpful managers yesterday and also for assisting with our clearing up this morning. Would certainly recommend it.

The initial process was nice and easy, Will the manager was very willing to work with us so that we felt totally comfortable about booking the venue. The value for money was great. The view was great.
