The Guard House

Just a stone's throw from the River Thames in the heart of the historic Royal Arsenal, we have spaces to suit every wedding. Whether you’d like a cosy, intimate gathering in the Mess Bar with the roaring fire, or a lavish celebration in the spacious light-filled Glass House we’ve got the ideal package for you. We can provide the perfect mix of laid-back style and old fashioned elegance. With three rooms available for private hire, accommodating 15- 100 people, we can do small weddings, big weddings, and everything in between.

Private Rooms:

The Conservatory   20 seated 40 standing

With its large glass doors, the conservatory is bright and light with an added dash of elegance. It’s the perfect venue for engagement parties, small wedding receptions, corporate meetings or even kids parties.

The Mess Bar    30 seated 50 standing

With its own bar, fireplace, large armchairs and quirky decor, the Mess is an exceedingly comfortable and cosy space. It is perfect to host slightly more informal gatherings such as leaving dos and after work drinks, or go all out and have a drinks and canape reception.

The Glass House    60 seated 100 standing

Our most substantial room, the Glass House is a breath-taking space filled with  light and colours complementing the magnificent views of the adjacent gardens. The room can easily be tailored to your needs, from a full-on dining room to an extravagant dance floor, and you even have the option of spilling out onto the outside decking area, perfect for those warm summer evenings. 

Mess Bar and Conservatory can be joined together to create a larger space.
