An open-air setting for outdoor events in the City of London

The Terrace is positioned at the front of the Treasury Building, overlooking the Inner Temple Garden and framed by beds of lavender, shrubs and seasonal planting.

It provides an elegant outdoor setting for spring and summer events, particularly suited to drinks receptions and informal gatherings. The space can be used as a standalone setting or incorporated into a wider event taking place within the venue.

The Terrace experience

Overlooking the Inner Temple Garden, the space offers a relaxed and inviting setting for guests to gather outdoors.

For spring and summer events, it creates a natural focal point for drinks and conversation, allowing the pace of the event to soften as guests spend time outside. As the evening progresses, it offers a change of atmosphere while remaining closely connected to the surrounding event spaces.

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, making it well suited to post-conference receptions and early evening gatherings.

For private parties, gala dinners and weekend celebrations, it provides a refined setting for arrival drinks and pre-dinner receptions. It can also be incorporated into wedding celebrations, offering a smaller outdoor setting for drinks while remaining close to the main reception spaces.
