Escape the bustle of central London with private dining at The Greenhouses in the City. Located within the iconic One New Change, just moments from St Paul’s Cathedral, The Greenhouses in the City offers two distinctive event spaces and an elegant setting for everything from birthday celebrations and anniversaries to corporate entertaining and proposal meals. Guests can choose between One Smithfield, accommodating up to 40 diners, or the more intimate Barbican Greenhouse, seating up to 18.
Each space offers its own character. One Smithfield combines lofty industrial-style ceilings, statement lighting, tiled walls and abundant greenery to create a contemporary urban oasis, complete with its own private entrance and mezzanine bar. For smaller gatherings, the Barbican Greenhouse provides a unique and romantic glasshouse setting, where lush planting and cascading foliage create a relaxed atmosphere for memorable private lunches, dinners and celebrations.
Private dining experiences can be tailored to suit every occasion, whether you’re planning a leisurely breakfast, seasonal lunch, elegant dinner or indulgent afternoon tea. Menus draw inspiration from Middle Eastern flavours, with dishes such as smoked aubergine, tuna tartare, spiced lamb carpaccio and seared scallops to start, followed by roast salmon fillet, charred hispi cabbage or Persian-spiced lamb rack. Desserts include chocolate cheesecake, glazed lemon curd tart and frozen orange and coconut halva. For more informal gatherings, canape menus feature bites including harissa chicken, confit celeriac, stone bass with Jersey Royals, lemon tarts and mango cheesecakes.
Bespoke drinks packages can also be arranged to complement your event, with everything from Champagne and cocktails to beers, wines, soft drinks and hot beverages available. Whether you’re planning a relaxed sharing feast, an elegant multi-course dinner or a celebratory afternoon tea, the experienced events team will work with you to create a private dining experience tailored to your guests in one of the City’s most distinctive dining venues.
