Montague Secret Garden Outdoor Space 180 250 - - -

Hidden within the heart of London, behind discrete yet magnificent black iron gates embossed with the gilded Bedford crest, sits a magical garden, undiscovered and truly private. We have the keys to these gardens and we’re excited to show you around.

The Montague Street Gardens is officially opening its gates to corporate and private events. The gardens are a stone’s throw from the iconic British Museum (just a five-minute walk from Russell Square tube station), yet create the sense of an English country garden.

he space has a magical feel to it, characterised by its swirling garden paths and lush lawns which are overhung by mature trees. The gardens benefit from immaculate daily upkeep by the Bedford Estates’ gardeners and even have their very own bee hives.

* The minimum spends are a guideline only and vary according to the day and time of the year.
