Dating back to 1582, Lauderdale House is an impressive Grade II* listed building known for its vibrant gardens and stunning views in Camden, North London. As you dine and dance the night away inside the venue, you can soak up the unique atmosphere of this fabulous country house in the city.

Facilities and Capacity

Rich in history and culture, Lauderdale House counts Nell Gwynn, Charles II and Samuel Pepys among its distinguished visitors. The venue is licensed for marriages and civil partnerships, with ample room for ceremonies and receptions (or both!) of up to 130 guests, and our friendly and experienced events team will be available from your first enquiry to help you plan your celebration of love. The perfect place to exchange your vows, it offers a tranquil and restful atmosphere while remaining close to local tube stations and public transport. With a sumptuous blend of historic features, including ornate ceilings, original beams and Georgian columns, and modern amenities, such as tasteful furniture and exhibitions by local artists, the House exudes elegance, style and comfort. Here, with the terraced gardens of Waterlow Park forming a scenic backdrop, you can focus on celebrating your special day with loved ones. Once you have said 'I do,' you can take photos on the grounds and create lasting memories to cherish forever.

Cuisine

Lauderdale House partners with Pink Food, our in-house catering company, to deliver a delicious culinary experience. All food is prepared and delivered fresh from the kitchen, using the highest quality produce from local suppliers. This approach has brought Pink Food to the very top of the industry, with a reputation for quality at every level. Our Events Manager and Pink Food’s Event Director will work together to assist you in planning your big day, paying attention to the smallest details for a seamless experience.

Decorations and Furniture

Lauderdale House is a flexible arts space, with exhibitions by local artists adorning our Lower and Upper Galleries. While we think the House is beautiful as is, you are more than welcome to bring in flowers, bunting and free-standing decorations to reflect your unique style and vision.

We have trestle tables, bistro tables, chairs, fairy lights in the Long Gallery, a projector and screen, easels for signage / photo boards, and a microphone and small speaker for speeches, all on site. You can also hire in furniture, uplighters, etc if you prefer. We will have a minimum of 2 stewards on hand to help ensure your special day runs smoothly (no one wants to put away chairs at the end of the night!).
