Situated on the River Thames, next to Lambeth Palace and overlooking Westminster,

the Garden Museum provides the perfect location for your event.

The Garden Museum is housed in the former church of St. Mary-at-Lambeth. The

original church dates from 1062 and has been redesigned over the centuries. The existing

building dates back to the medieval period with the interior featuring many Victorian

embellishments. The colourful stained glass windows were installed in the 1950s following

wartime bomb damage.

The world’s first Garden Museum tells the story of gardens and gardening through the

centuries and brings to life the work of the great garden designers, gardeners and plant

collectors.

The Garden Museum recently reopened after an exciting and innovative building project,

which has won the Museum widespread acclaim from press and public alike. In February

2008, Dow Jones Architects won the Museum’s competition to design an architectural

intervention which is now built in the church and which provides a solution to the challenge

of housing a unique Museum collection within a medieval church setting. For events, this

solution has created a flexible, aesthetically clean space.
