Roof Terrace at the Brit Oval

No need to be a sports fan to get a buzz from the roof terrace at The Brit Oval, newly available for hire throughout the cricket season. Stretching as far as the eye can see, it’s an airy space with a 300-capacity for drinks and 250 for dinner, making it one of London’s largest private hire outdoor spaces.

Its lofty position on the fourth floor of the OCS stand, just above the hospitality boxes and opposite the Pavilion, ensures views of London’s skyline are impressive.

Hitherto, the terrace has only been available for the favoured few as a hospitality venue on match days but since May, running through to September, any company can host a private or corporate event there, whether or not matches are taking place (with the exception of internationals and test matches, which remain hospitality only). A wide variety of functions can be catered for by Oval Events: lunches, drinks, buffet suppers or sit-down dinners.
