SERVICES > ENTERTAINING AT THE MUSEUM

The Orangery

The combination of its convenient location, lovingly restored early Georgian listed town Houses with their gracious architecture, and the remarkable Orangery, provides the perfect setting for smaller functions and special occasions.  There are two large rooms on the ground floor, the two spacious galleries on the first floor plus the Orangery, with its superb outlook on the garden. 

The Orangery is decorated with a mural by Jane Barraclough which gives the room a wonderful atmosphere.  It overlooks what is surely one of the most unexpected and unusual gardens in South London with its paved parterre and fan shaped flower beds, its pond, stream and architectural features and plantings in the Japanese manner.

Dining

For a limited number of occasions in the year the entire venue is available for two types of private functions utilizing both the museum rooms and the Orangery.  Formal dining in the Orangery preceded by a reception in the Museum and a private tour can accommodate up to 30 guests.  When laid out for such occasions with fine linen, silver, bone china and crystal glasses, the Orangery provides one of the most captivating and unusual dining experiences in London.   The very highest standards of cuisine can be provided.

Receptions

Alternatively, receptions for up to 80 people can be held within the Museum and Orangery, with refreshments ranging from drinks and canapes to a gastronomic fork supper.

Conferences and Filming

The Orangery is also available in the daytime for corporate hospitality events, product launches, lectures, conferences and filming.

Wedding Receptions
