The North Churchyard

Nestled in the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral, the North Churchyard offers a secluded garden setting steeped in history and natural beauty. Once the site of the General Assembly since 1236, this tranquil space provides a unique outdoor venue for summer events, surrounded by blooming roses, wisteria, and some of London’s oldest trees.

Accessible through the Cathedral Floor and South Transept via the rose garden gate, the North Churchyard is perfect for standing receptions, BBQs, food stations, and canapé events, with bespoke catering provided by Events by Benugo. Their tailored menus and exceptional service ensure a memorable outdoor dining experience for your guests.

With a capacity for up to 350 guests, it’s an idyllic location for summer parties and evening gatherings beneath Sir Christopher Wren’s breathtaking architecture. The restored cast iron railings, an important piece of early craftsmanship, add a touch of elegance to this historic garden. For added peace of mind, the Crypt serves as a wet weather backup plan, ensuring your event runs smoothly. Available for evening events Monday to Thursday, the North Churchyard is an unforgettable venue for outdoor entertaining.
