LE GOTHIQUE 020 8870 6567 | https://legothique.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? The Grade II* listed Victorian Gothic-revival facade of Le Gothique is one of the best original exteriors of its kind in Britain. The spectacular towering spires, gargoyles and large statue of St. George give it a dreamy castle-like feel. An enchanting award- winning Secret Garden is found tucked within the venue. The perfect al fresco space for celebrations, it can be covered, heated and lit. A hard-standing patio with a barbecue is surrounded by neatly striped lawns and hanging floral baskets. Inside, the space is split into two levels, with formal dining on the mezzanine floor and a Gothic bar occupying the ground floor. A bronze statue of Bacchus, the god of wine, adorns the west wall. LET’S CELEBRATE! Outdoor weddings in the Secret Garden (up to 250 guests) is a speciality here. Celebrations can also be held inside the venue in the Gothic Room for a maximum of 90 loved ones. Couples are treated to a tasting night, when they and four guests can sample six different starters, mains and desserts. WE LOVE… The venue can help to-be-weds arrive in style with its vintage Rolls Royce to hire. www.allis terfreeman.co.uk www.hele nabrahamphotography.com FULHAM PALACE 020 7610 7162 | www.fulhampalacevenue.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
