Inner Temple Garden

The Inner Temple Garden

The Inner Temple Garden is an award-winning three-acre garden with views towards the Thames, and one of the largest privately owned gardens in central London. Set within the historic grounds of The Inner Temple, it offers a remarkable open-air setting for summer receptions, drinks events and garden parties, where guests can move freely across expansive lawns and among vibrant seasonal planting.

The Garden may be hired as a standalone venue for outdoor occasions or combined with indoor rooms when your event calls for both elements. Its scale, openness and heritage setting make it particularly well suited to larger summer gatherings that benefit from space, atmosphere and flexibility.

What the Garden brings to your event

The Garden lends itself naturally to summer receptions, drinks events and garden parties. Guests can move freely across three acres of open space, with bar and catering service positioned throughout, allowing the occasion to unfold entirely outdoors when appropriate.

Both the Garden and the Pavilion are licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, enabling celebrations to take place within the grounds from ceremony through to drinks reception and evening festivities.

Access to our other spaces

For events that combine indoor and outdoor elements, the Garden offers a refined setting for arrival drinks or for closing receptions at the end of the day. Movement between garden and building introduces a natural progression to the programme, adding contrast and pace.

The design of the Garden creates variety within a single, expansive setting. Open lawns provide generous space for larger gatherings and entertainment, while quieter corners allow for more relaxed conversation. A central fountain acts as a focal point, and the tree-lined boardwalk, framed by mature plane trees, adds depth and architectural character to the landscape. Together, these elements give the Garden both intimacy and scale within one cohesive environment.
