Linden House Riverside hires out Georgian rooms on the Thames in Hammersmith for meetings, workshops, private dinners and weddings. The Ballroom takes up to 80 guests standing, and three smaller rooms suit boardroom-scale groups and dinners of around two dozen.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists five rooms for business use: the Ballroom, the Captain's Room, the Commodore's Room, the Boardroom and the Members Bar. The Ballroom has large sash windows and daylight, and is offered for product launches, seminars, workshops and networking events. The Captain's Room, on the ground floor, has three large windows. The Commodore's Room, on the first floor, looks over the river. The Boardroom, on the second floor, is meant for private meetings that need quiet. The Members Bar, used by the sailing and rowing clubs housed in the building, can be made available to clients by prior arrangement.
Wi-Fi is free and audiovisual equipment is available in the main rooms. The venue publishes day delegate rates, meeting menus and corporate menus, and mentions local suppliers for calligraphy, mandala art and yoga sessions, plus a cinematic team-building company.
Weddings and receptions
The house holds a civil ceremony license through a partnership with the Hammersmith and Fulham register office, so a ceremony and reception can take place under one roof. In the Ballroom, a ceremony seats 72, a plated reception 68 and a standing reception 80. The Captain's Room and the Commodore's Room each take 32 or 30 for a ceremony, 24 for a plated reception and 30 standing. Hiring the Ballroom includes the Captain's Room and the River Terrace.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballroom measures 6.3 by 9.8 meters, about 62 m², with views of the front terrace and wheelchair access. The Captain's Room and the Commodore's Room each measure 6 by 5 meters, about 30 m². The Captain's Room connects to an anteroom and then the Ballroom through an adjoining door. All three rooms come with free Wi-Fi and AV equipment. Private dining is also offered for family gatherings, milestone birthdays, supper clubs and celebrations of life.
Catering
Food is prepared by the venue. It publishes event menus, Christmas menus and wedding food and beverage packages, and says tailored offers can replace the standard packages. Parking is not available on site unless the host arranges it with the event coordinator.
History and setting
Linden House stands at 60 Upper Mall, on the river in Hammersmith. It is first recorded as a named house in 1795, and was a girls' college, a sports and social club for the Lyons bakery company, and a war-effort building before becoming a clubhouse again in 1946. The London Corinthian Trust, a registered charity, bought it in 2001. The house is the clubhouse of the London Corinthian Sailing Club and the Sons of the Thames Rowing Club, and hiring rooms helps pay for its upkeep.
Getting there
Guests can walk from Ravenscourt Park or Hammersmith stations. For a car or satnav, use Oil Mill Lane, W6 9UA, off the A4 after the BP garage. Upper Mall is a private residential road and the venue asks guests not to park there. Two paid parking listings are shown on its visit page for weekdays.
