Step into the idyllic setting of Gray’s Inn Gardens, Central London’s premier summer party venue.
Known as The Walks, these historic gardens were meticulously laid out in 1608 by the Treasurer of that era, Sir Francis Bacon—his statue proudly gracing the South Square. Spanning an expansive five acres,
The Walks stand as a rare gem among London’s private gardens, offering a peaceful sanctuary amidst the urban hustle. Available all year round, this extraordinary and unique venue sets the scene for outdoor events and garden parties. These include summer parties, corporate parties, garden parties, family fundays and wedding receptions. Come summer, The Walks transform into a haven of luxury with a modern marquee structure, complete with air-cooling, a dance area, a stylish bar, bathrooms, and wooden decking.
This versatile structure opens up endless possibilities for a wide array of summer events. From private soirées to corporate affairs, The Walks and its bespoke marquee provide an unrivaled backdrop for celebrations, wedding receptions, concerts, sizzling barbecues, and other outdoor extravaganzas.
If you seek a private summer party venue in London that transcends the ordinary, your quest concludes at Gray’s Inn Gardens—a place where history, elegance, and exclusivity converge for an unforgettable experience.
