London Venues with Outdoor Space

There are many venues in London with outdoor space which range from seasonal marquees, garden, and terrace areas to rooftop terraces offering fantastic views of the London skyline.

Sadly, with the UK’s unpredictable weather one thing to consider when booking a summer event with outside space that the venue has a wet weather option.

If you are considering a late evening event then you may also want to consider inside space for when the temperature drops.

There are many London venues which have outdoor space to choose from and below are just a few suggestions

The Royal College of Physicians is minutes from Great Portland Street, Warren Street and Regent’s Park tube stations, and accessible for Kings Cross, Euston and Paddington stations, as well as the St Pancras Eurostar terminal with links to all major London airports.
The College Garden is one of the few ‘physic’ gardens in London. It is a medicinal garden and contains plants from all over the world. The Garden is ideal outdoor space for a summer evening drinks reception, barbecue or al fresco dining.

The Terrace at 41 Portland Place is the perfect outdoor venue for entertaining amongst the rooftops of Marylebone. Surrounded by jasmine, and olive trees, with an artificial grass lawn this versatile space is ideal for summer BBQ’s, receptions and exclusive al fresco dining.

Concealed behind a discreet front door on Shaftesbury Avenue is a Soho secret, the Century Club. Aptly named in honour of its one hundred stairs, there are 2 outdoor spaces available to hire for events:

With a fully retractable glass roof, this is the perfect place for private hire all year round.

This area is ideal for a larger standing reception and has a plug in PA system for music or DJ.

On the 5th floor is the top terrace. This new space has views stretching as far as Canary Wharf down to the bright lights of Soho’s at your feet. This space is ideal for smaller standing receptions and has large umbrellas for rain/shade along with heaters. It is available from 5pm until Midnight

Dartmouth House, home of The English-Speaking Union, is an elegant mansion set in the heart of London’s Mayfair.

In 1870 Lord Revelstoke (Edward Charles Baring at the time) purchased No. 37 Charles St and after he became a Lord in 1885 he purchased No. 38 in 1890. He turned the two Georgian Houses into one larger house. No expense was spared and one of many new especially designed features included the marble courtyard which is used for outdoor events.

The architectural style, fountain, wrought iron tables and chairs combine to create the atmosphere of a chateau terrace for a very stylish outdoor event.
