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 stylish urban districts.

Escape the indoors and the grey din of the city, and hold your event within our enchanting four-acre grounds—a living exhibition of over 4,500 plant specimens, meticulously curated over 350 years.

From the continent’s oldest pond rockery to the tropical plants house in our Victorian Glasshouses; the kaleidoscopic Dicotyledon beds, fragrant Mediterranean herbs, and the intimate paths and peripheries enclosing our two professionally maintained lawns— the Garden provides a stunning location for an occasion of any size, and has a character and history unique amongst any other venue in Central London.

Event spaces

Events at the Physic Garden will typically utilise one or both of our grass lawns to serve as blank-canvas event spaces. The lawns provide a private outdoor green space upon which a marquee can be built, furnished and decorated to your specifications with the services of of our accredited marquee providers.
