It’s hard to think of a more prestigious setting for a venue than London’s Park Lane, right opposite Hyde Park. The London Wedding Venue that also combines distinguished Edwardian town house elegance with modern meeting facilities.

Contact

Not only is the building listed, but also its bow windows and baroque staircase. And even though these feature are particularly dramatic, there is arguably even more delight in the very fine Edwardian details – from the door handles, Louis XVI gilt cornicing and chandeliers, right down to the magnificent window latches.

Exquisitely decorated and maintained throughout, the house has six meeting rooms, together with a modern, purpose-built lecture theatre and a heated terrace with spectacular views across the park. The theatre accommodates up to 220 delegates in a modern environment, while the formal rooms – featuring the venue’s ‘grand salon’, the Argyle Room — can host events such as private dinners for up to 180 people. In warm weather, the terrace is a popular base for drinks reception and barbecues for up to 200 people, and at Christmas parties for up to 450 people can be accommodated.
