About this space
Book a highly visual, plant-filled environment for your next Central London function. Moving away from standard, rigid corporate aesthetics, this room utilizes heavy indoor landscaping to create a relaxed, natural atmosphere. It is a proven location for hosting industry panels, brand activations, off-site workshops, and professional mixers.
Capacities and Layouts
The floor plan is highly adaptable, allowing you to arrange the furniture to fit your specific attendee count and event format:
Standing Receptions: Maximum of 200 guests.
Standard Seating: Up to 130 individuals.
Cabaret Configuration: Up to 100 attendees.
Catering and Event Logistics
Organizers have total control over the food and beverage setup. You can contract the venue's internal culinary team for straightforward service, or choose a dry hire agreement to bring in your own external vendors and caterers. Backed by an experienced on-site operations crew, the room is completely prepared to handle large-scale productions right in the middle of the capital.

Maja was very helpful answering any questions I had regarding the catering and general questions I had about the venue. Often would get in touch to ensure I had thought all options of a Choice of catering or Drink through with various options. No request was too small and always checked in to make sure I knew what was happening. The food options where great and loved by all. Lots of great feedback from all guests

We had a brilliant team day morning at the Arboretum - Maja and Leila were amazing and so friendly and helpful. Everyone really enjoyed the morning and the set up was great. Lunch that was ordered in was really nice and we got lots of good comments about it from team members.

The whole experience of working with Leila and Maja has been brilliant. From the start they were on hand to answer any questions and were incredibly helpful with everything. The staff on the night were exceptional and the whole event ran smoothly thanks to them.
