About this space

This unique venue set in the heart of London in attractive Pimlico Gardens. The principal function rooms are linked via the atrium and the Pavillion extends over the river, with floor to ceiling windows all round to provide amazing views up and down the Thames as well a large balcony wrapped around the room. The Edgson room has a full length covered balcony to the river and is equipped with special effects lights and speakers for music and dancing.

The spacious open-plan building lends itself to a wide variety of theming. The venue has been used as the setting for a block buster movie ‘Love Actually’ starring Hugh Grant and Keira Knightly as well as E4 program ‘Spencer, Vouge & Wedding Two’ As the Boating Base is a charity, the venue hire fee for the rental of the building goes directly to support Trust’s charitable activities for young people.

Many customers have expressed satisfaction in knowing that part of the cost of their event is going to a worthwhile cause. The Westminster Boating Base venue space is solely managed by The Admirable Crichton and we aim to create wonderful experiences with our food and service.

Christmas Party · 100 guests
Everything was perfect. Cherie and Stan and the team were absolutely amazing, all we had to do was turn up and enjoy ourselves. Our guests also thought everything was fantastic. Food, drink, service, DJ, venue, dancing, location, all absolutely brilliant. A night we will always remember. It really is the perfect party space.
That is was over! Wish we could do it all again!

Graduation Party · 90 guests
I hosted my graduation dinner for 90 guests at the Westminster Boating Based on 20th July 2019. It was truly a magical day. One of many reasons I chose this venue was because it had a lot of natural lighting but on the event day the team exceeded my expectations with the service. The catering staff were extremely professional and attentive with all my guests. My guests loved the canapes, there was a continuous flow of canapes for the reception and the guests loved the terrace where they were able to chat and enjoy the fabulous view. The event team and Cherie the lead Manager were open to so many of my ideas, I had a harpist play music during reception and dinner, Zumba instructor for the disco, 2019 balloons and other decors that I wanted to add. The dinner food was absolutely delicious and I was able to do a food tasting months before hand. Drinks were flowing aswell. The Maestro was a great addition to the event, it helped to provide order and inform guests of where they should go. The DJ is very dynamic, he mixed up the songs and got everyone on the dance floor. Overall, the team are extremely experienced and flexible. I would highly recommend this venue for all and any event.

This fantastic venue, nestled between the river and the beautiful Pimlico Gardens, in the luxury triangle that forms Chelsea, Belgravia and Westminster, is managed exclusively by The Admirable Crichton.

The spacious pavilion offers an idea setting for weddings, dinners, receptions and parties. Drinks can be held in Pimlico Gardens or the Edgerton Room before moving into the stunning blank canvas Pavilion with wrap around terraces boasting spectacular views across the river.

The abundance of natural light makes either room a fantastic option for meetings, conferences or away days – why not incorporate a team building blast down the river in a power boat from our private pier.

With easy transport links by rail, underground and road or even river and helicopter you and your guests can arrive in style and with great ease. Our private pier can be used for arrivals and departures by pleasure boat or Thames RIB.
