Horniman Museum & Gardens

The Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill, South London, sits within 16 acres of award winning landscaped gardens with breath taking views across the city skyline.

The Horniman is home to three unique spaces available for private hire. An elegant Victorian Grade II listed Conservatory, an Edwardian Grade II listed Bandstand, and a sleek contemporary Pavilion. The Museum itself houses internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, a fascinating Natural History Gallery and an acclaimed Aquarium. The recent addition of a Butterfly House makes the Horniman a truly unique and inspiring destination.

The elegant Grade II listed Victorian Conservatory provides a large, bright, open space that is perfect for weddings, receptions and sit down dinners. The cast iron and glass structure was originally built by the Horniman family in 1894 and has recently been enhanced with modern interior lighting and heating underneath a beautiful new tiled floor. The Conservatory stands within a stylish private terrace next to the Museum with easy access to the Gardens.

The Bandstand, with its picturesque setting overlooking the Horniman Gardens and with the London skyline in the background, is a delightful location for intimate outdoor ceremonies or receptions. The Bandstand has recently been restored to show-off its original Victorian features.
