Chelsea Physic Garden

A Living Museum Founded in 1673, the Grade-I listed Chelsea Physic Garden offers an oasis of green in the heart of one of the world’s most iconic urban districts. Our Grade-I listed four-acre grounds offer a beautiful backdrop to your occasion, comprising over 4,500 individual plant specimens sourced from across the world, and meticulously curated over 350 years of horticultural science. From the continent’s oldest pond rockery to the tropical plants house in our Victorian Glasshouses; the kaleidoscopic Dicotyledon beds, Ginkgo trees, fragrant Mediterranean herbs, and the intimate paths and peripheries enclosing our two professionally maintained lawns— the Garden provides a stunning location for a function of any size, and has a character and history unique amongst any other venue in Central London. Your venue, your vision Our highly versatile dry-hire format makes the Garden exclusively your own, and lets you design your own event, with your own choice of suppliers. The Garden curates a list of Garden-accredited event suppliers, providing lawn marquees and tents, music, floristry, event planning and a wide variety of food and drink options. We carefully select our accredited suppliers each year for their established industry excellence, their performance at events in the Garden in the past, and for sharing our own commitment to ethical and sustainable working practices.

Our two lawns are professionally maintained throughout the year, and provide plenty of space for a reception, ceremony, or both. Either or both can be used for a tent or marquee—built, furnished and decorated through one of our accredited providers. The Physic Gard
