Why Beaconsfield is a Good Venue to Hire for Your Wedding?

Housed in the former Lambeth Ragged School, Beaconsfield gallery has expertly preserved and used the architectural features of its original design. The building was erected between 1849-1851 by Henry Beaufoy and designed in the classical Doric style with a Victorian spin. Since its rejuvenation as a contemporary art space over a decade ago the gallery has gone from strength to strength, attracting homegrown and international artists and collaborations. Such innovation marks Beaconsfield out as a quality venue - a comfortable and cool venue in which to stage a wedding reception or engagement party.

Interior

The Lower space which spans the building’s ground floor entrance, makes a striking introduction to the venue. Designed to be both intimate and airy, the space fuses the existing features with contemporary and stylish design. Striking features such as four original cast iron pillars and an original stone floor are complemented by contemporary spotlighting and a simple and fully functional bar area.

The Arch space is a spacious tunnel of a room. The brick vault and the concrete floor give it a raw and durable feel. Providing over 130 square metres of floor space it can be adapted for a wide variety of events which require that hard-core urban setting.

For a grander event, you should consider the Upper space, situated at the top of the original iron staircase. This is Beaconsfield’s piéce de resistance. Original tiered wooden floorboards complement vast white walls and the eye is drawn to a porthole window at the top of the rear wall. This room is bathed in the light from a trio of arched windows.

The Groucho Club

By: Deirdre | 23/10/2008 | Weddings

The original board of The Groucho Club, included the two leading female publishers of our time, Liz Calder of Bloomsbury and Carmen Calil of Virago. From the start, The Groucho Club had to be somewhere different. The club quickly became the place for arts and media folk to go and has inspired a horde of imitators since it was founded in 1985.
