Forming the heart of the Merchant Taylors' experience is your very own private stone-flagged, fragrant, sunny garden making it hard to believe that you've not suddenly walked out onto the lawn of a gorgeous English stately home. A wonderful space for guests to relax, mingle and enjoy themselves in the sunshine, the garden has the ideal ambiance for barbeques, informal gatherings as well as receptions and corporate events.
The Library accommodates twenty-five in theatre style or up to twenty in a boardroom set-up. This meeting room is perfect for smaller business meetings. The characterful Library is the heart of Merchant Taylors' Hall. A sentiment reflected in its collection of first editions and books which document the history of the building.
Soft pastel colours complement the beautiful, hand-painted Chinese silk floral wallpaper. Natural daylight streams into this exquisite, spacious room which comfortably accommodates up to forty-eight people in a cabaret seating arrangement making it ideal for smaller wedding receptions and breakfasts. An ever popular choice by wedding couples, the delicate palette in this space sets a romantic tone for photographs.
The King's Gallery adds a delightfully welcoming setting to your day, perfectly complementing the adjoining Drawing Room space. It's ideal for up to fifty guests for a buffet arrangement in a luxurious surrounding, or more intimate seating arrangements can be organised for private dining. For guests who enjoy a story to tell, engage them in a conversation about how James I dined in this very room in 1607. Today, light pastels give them room a fresh, contemporary poise. Floor to ceiling windows add an extra dimension by overlooking the Great Hall below.
The Cloisters is a bright and airy reception space that is ideal when used in conjunction with other spaces at Merchant Taylors' as a breakout space for larger events or ideal when used as a standalone space for drinks receptions or networking events. Pair with the neighbouring outdoor space of the Courtyard Garden for a great combination of a luxurious outdoor space with a casual and refreshing and relaxing outside reception.
