Garden Museum

Situated by the River Thames and next to Lambeth Palace, The Garden Museum provides the perfect location for wedding receptions, corporate events and dinners.

The Museum’s garden provides a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of central London and is an ideal setting for a pre-dinner drinks reception or a barbeque.

The Garden’s focal point is the beautiful 17th Century inspired knot garden, which creates the perfect romantic setting for wedding photography.


The Good Life party package

Experience the “good life” for your party this year.

The Garden Museum has teamed up with London’s premier environmentally aware entertaining and events company Suzanne James ltd, to create a sustainable and thrifty way to celebrate any occasion.

The package – aimed at clients who are budget conscious as well as ethically aware - offers a two hour reception for minimum of 50 people for £31.00 per head. This includes the venue hire fee, staffing, drinks, catering and an exclusive private viewing of our exhibition “The Good Life – 100 Years of Growing Your Own.” The Suzanne James team have created a nostalgic canapé menu which includes everyone’s 70s favourites, with a modern twist (see menu below)
