About The Greenhouses

The Greenhouses is a collection of private glasshouses in London, five in the grounds of One Marylebone and two at Long Lane in the City, each hired to one party at a time for weddings of up to 40.

The Greenhouses is a collection of private dining glasshouses on two London sites. Five stand in the grounds of One Marylebone, on Marylebone Road, and two are in the City at Long Lane, beside the Barbican. Each has pitched glass, a timber frame and a single long table under hanging blossom and planting, and each is hired to one party at a time. Weddings are small by design, with receptions of 8 to 30 guests and the largest rooms seating 40.

The Regency Greenhouse at Marylebone is licensed for civil ceremonies, and guests then move next door to The Portland or The Devonshire, where the table is already laid. The City rooms host receptions only. The kitchen cooks modern Middle Eastern sharing plates in-house, and there is no room hire fee, only a minimum spend. There are no bedrooms, so guests stay at hotels nearby. London Heathrow is the nearest airport, about 45 minutes away.

Glasshouses built for small weddings

Each greenhouse holds one long table beneath pitched glass, hung with blossom and trailing planting. There are five in the grounds of One Marylebone and two in the City at Long Lane, each hired to a single party. They are made for a wedding of thirty rather than three hundred.

Vows under glass, then the table

The Regency Greenhouse is licensed for civil ceremonies and seats up to 40. After the vows, guests step next door to The Portland or The Devonshire, where the table is already laid. The register office at Old Marylebone Town Hall is a few minutes away.

Middle Eastern sharing plates

The in-house kitchen cooks modern Middle Eastern food, with plates arriving in waves from starters to desserts. A curated wine, cocktail, beer and spirit list sits alongside it, and the budget goes on the table rather than on room hire.
