The Greenhouses In The City

Description

The Greenhouses has opened a new home on Long Lane, in the heart of the City of London. It brings the same beautifully designed private spaces and exceptional hospitality as our Marylebone venue, now within easy reach of the Square Mile.

The Barbican Greenhouse
Seating up to 18 guests, the Barbican Greenhouse sits within the building’s main entrance, alongside a bustling café. By day, it’s a relaxed spot for lunch, with the lively buzz of café life all around. As evening falls, it becomes an intimate, softly lit setting for private dinners.

One Smithfield
Our largest space, One Smithfield, has its own private entrance and a dedicated mezzanine bar. Lush greenery and planting bring The Greenhouses’ signature feel to an indoor space, creating a setting that feels relaxed, elegant and quietly impressive. It’s ideal for breakfast meetings, afternoon teas, corporate dinners, receptions and larger celebrations for up to 40 guests.

Drinks on the rooftop
Our rooftop terrace adds something special, whether it’s a welcome drink before dinner, a sundowner with colleagues or a toast beneath the City skyline.

Food made for sharing
Our menu of modern Middle Eastern sharing plates brings generous, vibrant dishes to the table for everyone to enjoy together. All food is prepared by our in-house team, so every event enjoys the same care and quality from the first plate to the last.

Beyond dining
Like our Marylebone home, The Greenhouses in The City offers a flexible setting for brands and creatives. Product launches, brand collaborations and immersive experiences can all be shaped around your vision, whether you’re planning a client event, a team celebration or a creative activation.

An experience for every season
From bright spring breakfasts to candlelit winter suppers, The Greenhouses are special all year round. Every event is personal, polished and unforgettable.
