The Royal Hospital Chelsea, the home of the Chelsea Pensioners

Ranelagh Gardens

Ranelagh Gardens is one of London's hidden gems. Tucked away in the extensive grounds of the Royal Hospital, these magical gardens provide an ideal outdoor space for a whole host of events, from theatrical productions to summer drinks receptions. Comprising both middle Ranelagh and Lower Ranelagh, both spaces are fantastic for a marquee event. Please contact a member of our events team to arrange a site visit on 020 7881 5250.
