Summer Venues with Gorgeous Outdoor Spaces

Let’s be real: summer in London is basically a gift from the universe, and you deserve to spend every golden second soaking it in—preferably with a Boulevardier (whatever that is) in hand and the city skyline stretched out in front of you.

Whether you’re planning a brand launch, corporate event, throwing your own summer soirée, or looking for a venue that says ‘yes, I do both brunch and business, tysm,’ these outdoor spaces are serving.

Why Outdoor Venues Are Perfect for Summer Events

There’s just something about actual sunlight, fresh(ish) air, and relatively blue skies that makes everything feel a little more magical. The lighting? Flawless. The vibes? Immaculate. The content opportunities? Endless.

Outdoor venues bring that breath-of-fresh-air energy your guests actually want—no artificial lighting or recycled air required. Plus, you won’t need to scream over a speaker system in a stale room to be heard. It’s pretty perfect for all.

Top Venues with Outdoor Spaces in London

Uncommon Holborn

Uncommon creates exceptional spaces for events, meetings and more

Welcome to your plant-filled paradise in Central London (yes, it exists).

Uncommon Holborn isn’t just a pretty space; from a high-rise rooftop bar to indoor urban jungle, this space offers a little something for everyone. It brings panoramic views of London’s skyline—including the Shard, London Eye, and Westminster Abbey—plus a private bar and expansive terrace where your guests can actually breathe.

Hosting something bigger? The lounge bar fits up to 250 and serves leafy-luxe drama (but like, good drama), with a full stage setup with a projector screen for talks, live podcasts, or impromptu karaoke.

It is flexible, it is vibrant, and yes, the plants here are thriving. Obviously, so will your guest list.

The Conduit

Sustainable sunny celebrations in Covent Garden

The Conduit does not mess around when it comes to outdoor spaces, believe me.

Tucked above the city in Covent Garden, their rooftop isn’t just a terrace—it’s a fully formed ecosystem of sunshine, skyline views, and slow-sipping spritzes. Split between two lush spaces, The Pergola and Rucola restaurant, this venue brings a touch of Mediterranean pizzazz with local roots.

You’ve got The Pergola, a foliage-draped haven that feels like a Tuscan escape, perfect for intimate dinners, panels, or just really good people-watching. Then there’s Rucola, a sleek restaurant-meets-terrace hybrid with open-air seating, Mediterranean flavours, and that Big Event Energy that we love.

Come for the rooftop, stay for the burrata.

Central Hall Westminster

Ready to go big? If so, then Central Hall Westminster is your space.

With exclusive balcony access, Abbey views, and salivating seasonal menus from Green & Fortune, this is a classic venue with a grand twist: it’s got both the history and the gravitas.

From the iconic Great Hall with its domed ceiling and high-spec AV to the bright, airy Lecture Hall and Library combo, there are beautiful spaces for every kind of summer celebration—from full-scale receptions to team-building days, post-meeting drinks, and large-scale conferences. With advanced production support, flexible layouts, and technically sophisticated spaces, it’s ideal for major corporate events that need impact.

Spaces range from cosy (30-person corners) to colossal (the 2,000-capacity Great Hall). Bonus: book a summer package and the South Rotunda is yours—complimentary. Fancy.

Menus start from just £24.90 per person, packed with seasonal flavour and sustainability in mind—plus exclusive balcony access for golden-hour views over Westminster Abbey. A pretty perfect location for it all.

116 Pall Mall

An Iconic Georgian Landmark with a Secret Garden Party Vibe

If Bridgerton threw a summer party, it’d be here. Welcome to 116 Pall Mall: a collection of versatile spaces of pure Georgian elegance, just steps from St James’s Park.

The real star of the show? The hidden Garden and Terrace. Think: floral installations, summer cocktails, and fairy lights nestled in a lush, tree-lined oasis that feels miles away from central London (but isn’t).

Come evening, retreat to the Carlton Room, complete with gold-leaf ceilings, dramatic columns, and the kind of sophisticated charm that makes even your fanciest guests say ‘daaaayum girl.’ It’s pretty sweet.

22 Golden Square

Intimate, versatile, and effortlessly centrale

Hidden in plain sight (don’t we love that?) in Soho, this venue is giving boutique energy with a low-key luxury twist. Perfect for summer drinks, post-meeting catch-ups, and intimate hangs that punch above their weight—it’s giving pu’erh energy: rich, refined, and not here to explain itself to your builder’s brew.

With space for up to 60 guests, it’s got a chic café-style vibe downstairs and a cute little courtyard out back for mingling under the sun. It’s very green and very chic.

And yes, it really is just a stone’s throw from Piccadilly Circus. Go on, test it. I dare you.

Your Summer, Outdoors (yay!)

Whether you’re planning a low-key hang or a big summer corporate event, London’s outdoor venues are ready to bring the sunshine (okay maybe I shouldn’t have jinxed it).

With bespoke catering, skyline views, and enough personality to make your event feel like you (yes, you can bring your own oolong, thanks for checking), these are the spots to keep on your radar.

So dust off your clogs, send the group chat a calendar invite, and get ready to host a summer event worth remembering <3
