Garden at Salters’ Hall

An acre of landscaped gardens in the City of London, with a genuine section of the Roman Wall running along one side — not a plaque or a heritage marker, but the actual 2,000-year-old structure visible as a permanent backdrop. Outdoor event space in the Square Mile barely exists, and when it does it’s usually a terrace or a rooftop. The Salters’ Garden is on a different scale entirely: a fully landscaped, accessible green space within the precinct of one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies.

Events in the Salters’ Garden

The garden accommodates up to 300 guests for standing receptions, summer parties, barbecues, and outdoor celebrations. The enclosed setting creates a private atmosphere — you’re in the heart of the City but screened from it, surrounded by planting and heritage stone rather than glass and traffic. Wedding ceremonies can take place outdoors against the Roman Wall, and the garden provides a natural starting point for events that transition indoors for formal dining in the Main Hall or Court Room. That outdoor-to-indoor flow is one of Salters’ Hall’s strongest event features, giving programmers flexibility that single-space venues can’t offer.

Salters’ Garden for Corporate Events

Summer drinks receptions, team-building activities, conference breakout sessions, and outdoor networking all work well in a space this size. The garden’s heritage site status adds a distinctive talking point — guests often comment on the Roman Wall before anyone mentions it, which says something about its visual impact. For Christmas events, the garden can be dressed for seasonal atmosphere, though it naturally comes into its own from spring through autumn.

Practical Details for Salters’ Garden Hire

Seasoned Events provides all catering, including outdoor-specific formats like barbecues, street-food-style stations, and standing canapé service. The garden is fully accessible, and the connection to the main building’s fifth-floor event spaces is straightforward — guests move between outdoor and indoor spaces without leaving the Salters’ estate. The Worshipful Company of Salters has maintained these grounds as part of the London Wall Place development, and the recent landscaping has brought the space to a standard that matches the building’s RIBA-awarded interior. The garden’s enclosed character means noise and atmosphere stay contained, which matters for events in the City where neighbouring buildings sit close. When combined with the Main Hall, Court Room, and other indoor spaces, the garden extends what Salters’ Hall can offer across seasons and event formats — and it’s the outdoor phase of that journey that guests tend to remember most vividly.
