Conservatory

The Horniman Conservatory is a striking venue which makes a gorgeous setting for your event.

The elegant Victorian Conservatory stands within a stylish terrace and allows guests to enjoy easy access to the Horniman’s award-winning gardens.

The Grade II listed cast iron Conservatory was originally built by the Horniman family in 1894 and has recently been beautifully restored to its original splendour.

A large open space full of original features, it is regularly used for weddings, drinks receptions, photoshoots and parties.

Bandstand

Looking for a bijou backdrop for a drinks reception or photography shoot? Our Bandstand is the space for you.

The Bandstand is a totally unique feature of the Gardens with unparalleled views over all of London, from Wembley Stadium all the way to Canary Wharf.

Perfect for small, intimate occasions, summer drinks receptions, or photo shoots.

Recently refurbished with all original Victorian features, the Bandstand offers a picturesque snapshot of a bygone era. Enjoy stunning views across the skyline featuring London landmarks to one side and our beautiful Gardens to the other.

Pavilion

Our bright and airy Pavilion is a contemporary venue which includes a large outside terrace overlooking the Gardens.

Set within 16 acres of landscaped gardens, the Pavilion is a calm and peaceful contemporary venue.

It is a bright and airy space with floor to ceiling windows which fold back to give full access to a large private terrace overlooking the London skyline.

Situated in a quiet corner of the Gardens, the Pavilion has hilltop views across the Horniman’s landscaped Gardens and a unique view of the Animal Walk.

Like all our spaces, it is just a short train journey from the city. The Pavilion makes an idyllic space for a corporate away day, children’s party, contemporary wedding or summer drinks reception.
