Testimonials For Chelsea Physic Garden

Research Forum NOVEMBER, 2023

Chelsea Physic Garden is an oasis in central London; truly unique, and its character lends itself perfectly to the ethos of our event. Many of those who present their research are starting out in their careers, and they truly value the intimacy and tranquillity afforded by the Chelsea Physic Garden. This simply cannot be matched by the many ‘corporate’ venues that exist in the capital. We are already looking forward to returning next year.

Shaun Clayton

Memorial JUNE, 2023

The Garden makes the most incredible location for an event, not only for the garden's storybook beauty, vast collection of horticultural wonders, but also for its incredible peace and privacy. The events team managed by James is impeccably slick and so efficient, where he helped with a marquee, a fabulous caterers and went above and beyond to help in planning every detail of the memorial. It is one of the most impressive cultural wonders in London, and to be able to have access to the whole garden, undisturbed, cannot help impress even the most high-octane guest.
