Five of the Coolest Summer Party Venues to Hire Outside Central London

Are you planning a summer party but would prefer somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of central London? Then here are five cool summer party venues to consider!

 

The Garden Room at Syon Park

Despite being 11 miles from central London, Syon Park feels more like a country venue thanks to its beautiful landscaped grounds and pleasant tranquil atmosphere. Although it’s one of the UK’s most popular wedding venues, it’s also regularly hired for summer parties, with a large blank canvas marquee that can be tailored to different themes. That means your event can go ahead whatever the weather!

 

Winchester House

In the pleasant west London neighbourhood of Putney, Winchester House is a quieter, greener alternative to the typical West End or City venue. With a beautiful lawn overlooking the Thames, and an attractive interior accommodating up to 150 guests, it’s the perfect summer venue in London for small or medium-sized summer parties.

The Conservatory at Painshill

A luxury summer party and wedding venue in the sublime Surrey countryside, the Conservatory at Painshill is a refreshing alternative to central London. This photogenic venue, part of the landscaped private walled gardens of a Georgian retreat, overlooks 160 acres of parkland and has a large marquee housing up to 320 guests.

The Dulwich Picture Gallery

Enjoy a summer party at the oldest purpose-built art gallery in the world. The Dulwich Picture Gallery, in one of London’s most charming neighbourhoods, Dulwich Village, is renowned for its Old Master paintings collection.

Book your event at the wonderful private meadow (catering up to 500) or the Gallery Gardens (catering up to 350), both of which are ideal for summer drinks receptions. The Dulwich Picture Gallery is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque summer venues to hire in London!

Kew – Nash Conservatory

Accommodating up to 200 guests, the Nash Conservatory is ideal for small summer parties, comprising a stunning glasshouse with floor-to-ceiling windows and ample natural daylight. It’s part of the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its landscaped gardens.
