Event and guest services
Hosts over 1,000 yearly events, including nonprofit conferences. Rooms include kitchenettes with refrigerators. The chapel features 14th-century carvings and modern rose windows by Alan Younger FMGP.
“Limehouse DLR station places this property within easy reach of central London, but the peaceful gardens and unique Yurt Café provide a welcome contrast to the city's bustle. I found the combination of historic setting and community engagement particularly appealing. It's a thoughtful choice for those seeking tranquility and reflection, underscored by its lack of televisions and focus on communal spaces.”
