Glass Garden offers a private conservatory, the Glass Garden Room, for corporate events, parties and receptions. It seats up to 32 guests at one long table, up to 40 on five tables of eight, and holds up to 60 people at a standing reception. The restaurant is at 130 Southwark Street, London SE1 0SW.
Seminars and company events
The Glass Garden Room is listed for corporate events as well as birthdays and bridal showers. It suits a team dinner, a client reception or a small celebration after work. The room is fully private and air-conditioned. A Bluetooth speaker with a microphone and a projector can be used if needed, each as an option on request. This setup works for short speeches or a slide presentation before dinner. The site does not describe a theatre or classroom layout, so a full-day seminar is not what this room is sold for.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not offer weddings. It lists birthdays, bridal showers, corporate events and other special occasions. For a wedding-related gathering, such as a bridal shower or a small reception, the room can be booked as a private space. Guests are welcome to bring their own cake and decorations, and a DJ is allowed.
Rooms and capacities
The room is a conservatory at the rear of the restaurant, with a glass garden design and city views. For a seated meal, one long table takes up to 32 guests, or five separate tables of eight take up to 40. For a reception, the room comfortably holds up to 60 people. The room can be booked in two daily sessions. The afternoon session runs from 12:00 to 17:30 and the evening session from 18:00 to 23:00. Late-night extensions can be arranged, and the venue states that they carry extra charges.
Catering
Food is ordered from the restaurant's own menus. The site lists a three-course sharing set menu for a seated dinner, a canapé menu and a bowl food menu for receptions, and a drinks menu. Items are charged by the chosen set menu or dishes per person. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, although the team will consider specific requests. You may bring your own birthday cake. Booking terms include a room hire fee and a minimum food and drink spend, which the booking team explains when you enquire.
