English Heritage is a wonderful organisation which cares for more than 400 properties in England to help preserve our heritage for centuries to come. In April this year the organisation will separate into a charity to be called English Heritage to run the National Heritage collection of historic sites and monuments, and Historic England, which will be a public body offering constructive advice and championing the wider historic envrionment.

The properties under it’s care range from Battle Abbey in Sussex which is the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings, Ambleside Roman Fort in Cumbria where the remains of a 2nd century fort most probably built under Hadrian’s rule to guard the Roman road from Brougham to Ravenglass, Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, Cleeve Abbey in Somerset with possibly the finest cloisters in England depicting monastic life 800 years ago, to some of the finest historic buildings that we know and love today – Dover Castle, St Peter’s Church in Barton-upon-Humber, Saxtead Green Post Mill in Suffolk to Hill Hall in Essex, to name but a few.

In London some of these treasured buildings are available to hire for events:

Kenwood House in North London – offers marquee space for up to 480 along with some of the wonderful rooms.

Chiswick House in West London – in it’s heyday, the house acted as a glamorous party venue for Lord Burlington, where he entertained friends, family and high society!

Eltham Palace is South East London – with a series of linked Art Deco rooms, a stunning medieval Great Hall and 19 acres of moated gardens, Eltham Palace is guaranteed to elevate your event into a unique and unforgettable occasion.

Marble Hill House in South West London – one of London’s most elegant mansions with spectacular views across the River Thames.

Ranger’s House in South East London – sitting on the edge of Greenwich Park, Ranger’s House resembles a smart Georgian town house. In addition to the beautiful rooms, there is a marquee site within the Walled Garden offering a further charming private space.

Last but not least, there is the amazing Wellington Arch sitting proudly on Hyde Park Corner. With two floors of newly-refurbished event space, Wellington Arch offers the most unique hot spot for entertaining.
