Eight Countryside Venues Within Easy Reach of London

London has great transport links to these prestigious countryside venues. If you’re planning an event outside of the city these are the spaces we recommend.

East of London

Down Hall Country House Hotel

Down Hall Hotel is one of England’s most established country house hotels. Located in Hatfield Heath, near Bishop’s Stortford on the Hertfordshire and Essex border, Down Hall is 45 minutes from central London and also ideally located near Stansted Airport.

De Vere Theobalds House

Dating back to the 15th-century, De Vere Theobalds Estate in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire has had several former lives: the favourite country seat of King James I, a Georgian family home, a temporary retreat for Christopher Wren’s Temple Bar archway and a WWII military riding school; all before turning into a hotel in the 1990s.

North of London

Luton Hoo

Luton Hoo offers two contrasting styles of holding conferences and meetings. The Mansion House or the purpose-built venue, Warren Weir, which has been designed specifically to offer business clients who value total privacy a self-contained setting that is totally discreet.

Latimer Place

Just five miles from J18 of the M25 and with direct rail links into central London, De Vere Latimer Estate offers 28 flexible spaces for conferences, meetings, training and team-building.

South of London

De Vere Selsdon Estate

Just 14 miles and a 15-minute train journey from central London and close to J6 of the M25; De Vere Selsdon Estate in Surrey offers 23 flexible event spaces for conferences, training and meetings, along with team-building in the grounds.

Ashdown Park

Arriving at the 19th century mansion, people attending a business event at Ashdown Park cannot fail to notice the imposing facade which adds a sense of authority and importance to any business meeting.

West of London

Sunningdale Park

Sunningdale Park in Ascot is a modern hotel that offers bedroom accommodation in over 65 acres of landscaped gardens and natural woodland. Just 30 minutes from Heathrow, Sunningdale Park is a great choice for corporate events outside of London.

Oakley Court

Berkshire event venue Oakley Court has everything you need for a successful meeting, conference, banquet, or party. This venue sets the stage so you can create the scene using its quirky character, eye for style and enchanting backdrop of rich heritage and unspoilt beauty.
