Party · 30 guests
Our group loved this venue - a safe, cosy and inviting space and certainly unexpected for this price range in the middle of London and walking distance from train station. Beautiful exterior garden with good privacy and security gate. Accessible venue (ramp and only one small step) in a central location. Excellent value for money and staff with clear friendly communication from staff.
As mentioned, the entrance was a bit hard to find as shown wrongly on Google Maps. A diagram published on the website would be beneficial to correct this. Shoes were not allowed in the tent - some people have suggested shoe racks or cabinets could be provided, and also some mats outside for walking on in socks after shoe removal and a place to dispose of rubbish.

Sonia was an incredible liaison, so helpful, kind, so responsive and helped us ensure the space was set up with just what we needed. The space has such a beautiful ambiance and energy, it lent itself perfectly to our Breathwork event. It was really nice to utilize the lights that we could choose the color from which really added to the whole feeling. Very special place!

Graduation Party · 70 guests
We hosted my cousin's grad party at The Nave and it was perfect! The venue was spacious, spotless, and ideally located. The sound system was outstanding, making the music crisp and lively. We also used the beautiful, airy garden, which added a lovely touch to the event. It was an amazing experience and I won't look anywhere else for my next party!
The kitchen is tiny! Fortunately, our caterers made it work. But this is just something to note if you're looking for a space with a large kitchen.
