The Terrace at The Inner Temple

The Terrace sits at the front of the Treasury Building, overlooking the Garden with its lavender beds, shrubs and seasonal greenery. It offers a beautiful open air setting for summer events in the heart of the City of London, with a relaxed and elegant feel.

Working particularly well for arrival drinks before an evening celebration or as a refreshing close to a daytime event, the Terrace allows guests to move seamlessly between the indoor rooms and the fresh air without ever leaving the estate.

Available from May to September, between 6.00pm and 9.00pm.

The Terrace experience

Set between Georgian architecture and the Garden, the Terrace feels defined and self contained at the front of the Treasury Building.

Following a daytime conference or event, it offers a natural setting to step outside for a well deserved reception in the open air. Guests can move easily from the indoor rooms into the evening light while remaining within the estate.

South facing and framed by historic buildings, it catches the sun as it begins to soften, providing a relaxed transition from formal proceedings to conversation.

The multi story structure features arched doorways, pediments, manicured shrubs, and potted plants in front. People stand on the pavement nearby, with a prominent blue 'Pegasus' umbrella and signage visible at the entrance on a paved street.

There to support your event

The Terrace lends itself naturally to informal networking and conversation. After conference sessions, it offers a relaxed setting for drinks and canapes, giving delegates space to reflect and connect in the open air.

For evening private parties, gala dinners or weekend celebrations, it provides an elegant backdrop for arrival drinks before guests move inside for the main occasion.

There to support your event

The terrace’s position within the estate allows for smooth movement between spaces, supporting a well paced and cohesive event experience. Catering can be tailored to complement your programme, whether you are planning light refreshments or a more substantial reception.

When thoughtfully incorporated into the wider event design, the Terrace adds a layer of outdoor flexibility without disrupting the structure of the event.

Relationship to surrounding spaces

The Terrace sits just outside several of the venue’s principal indoor spaces, allowing events to move naturally between settings. Positioned at the front of the Treasury Building, it complements conferences, receptions and dinners where guests benefit from both indoor comfort and open air.

This relationship makes it a considered addition to events that conclude in the early evening or transition as daylight begins to fade.

When to book

The Terrace is available from May to September. On weekdays, it is offered during the evening, while weekend hire includes daytime and evening availability.

As an outdoor space, arrangements are always made with weather considerations in mind, with suitable indoor alternatives incorporated into your event planning.

Availability is subject to the wider estate calendar, so early discussion is recommended to explore how the Terrace can best support and enhance your event.
