Venue Intelligence

Fulham, London

A glasshouse on the Thames.

The Hurlingham Club is a private members’ club of 1869 on the bend of the Thames at Fulham, its event spaces open to members and non-members alike. Weddings are held in Palm Court, a glasshouse under a 43-metre dome licensed for civil and religious ceremonies, and in the walled Sunken Garden for vows in the open air. Couples hire the finest rooms on the estate, not the wider grounds, which stay reserved for members.

A Ceremony Under Glass, or in the Garden.

Couples marry in Palm Court, under a 43-metre dome and seating up to 280, licensed for both civil and religious ceremonies, or in the Sunken Garden, a walled parterre with a water feature at its heart, licensed for civil ceremonies and holding up to 150 outdoors. Drinks follow on the Terrace and along the Rose Walk, and the wedding breakfast or dinner-dance is served in Palm Court or the Broomhouse Suite. The wider 42-acre grounds are reserved for members.

In-House, Under the Dome.

Dining is in-house under Head Chef Andrew Grahame; the club does not offer dry hire, so food and room come as one. Menus are built with each couple, from canapes on the Terrace to a seated wedding breakfast or dinner-dance beneath the Palm Court dome. Corkage is offered on wine, and food trucks are permitted for a looser evening.

A Place That Knows How to Host.

Hurlingham’s identity is sport: grass courts and padel, bowls and croquet, and the tournaments that fill its summer. It is regarded as the birthplace of codified, modern polo, having drawn up the first formal rules of the game in the 1870s, the code that went on to govern polo worldwide, and it hosted Olympic polo at the 1908 London Games. A couple inherits that competence, a staff practised at running occasions in whites, on a lawn, at scale.

Location

Fulham, London

The Hurlingham Club stands at Ranelagh Gardens in Fulham, on the bend of the Thames in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Putney Bridge Underground, on the District line, is a short walk from the gates, the West End is about twenty minutes by cab, and Heathrow around thirty minutes by road, so guests reach a club that feels like open country within minutes of central London.
