Main Menu
A magical place to host any event, the beautiful, historic Petyt Hall caters superbly for all occasions. It is ideal for wedding receptions, christenings, and memorial services, as well as lunches, cocktail parties, lectures and meetings. It’s also an excellent location base for film & TV and many other business occasions.
Terrace
Weather permitting, a splendid terrace and garden are available outside Petyt Hall where a marquee can be erected in the courtyard between the Hall and Church, to increase the covered space for guests, and you can decorate this with fairy lights and flowers (please bring your own fairy lights and extension cables).
Architects and Space
Designed by John Simpson and Partners, who also designed the new picture gallery at Buckingham Palace, it is classically elegant in concept, with up-to-the-minute equipment.
The air-conditioned hall is spacious enough for approximately 150+ guests standing, or 80 people dining. The dimensions are 42′ x 28′ (12.8m x 8.5m).
Kitchen
There is a large, restaurant-standard catering kitchen in the basement with a serving lift for food to the ground floor. There is a further recently refurbished small kitchenette on the ground floor.
Accessibility
Entrance to Petyt Hall is through the Cadogan Gate at 64 Cheyne Walk, just off the Embankment beside the River Thames. The entrance to the church grounds and Petyt Hall are flat.
There is a ground-floor lavatory for those who are disabled, and ladies’ and gents’ lavatories in the basement.
What we can provide
Tables and chairs, plus wi-fi, a television and PA system can be supplied for any of these functions, and if you hold an event in Petyt Hall there is a big bonus – we do not charge corkage.
Gallery
