Overview

Situated amidst the peaceful gardens of Waterlow Park, Lauderdale House is a 16th century Grade II* listed building which offers an elegant and refined setting to celebrate the life of a loved one.

We have three unique rooms, all overlooking the park, which can be hired individually or together for a memorial gathering, funeral service, reception or wake.

We are a short distance from Highgate Cemetery, Golders Green Crematorium and East Finchley Cemetery, making Lauderdale the ideal option if you are looking for a sophisticated north London venue without religious associations. Our experienced staff are more than happy to organise private gatherings at short notice - subject to availability. Working with our in-house catering partners Pink Food, we will ensure everything runs smoothly on the day so you can focus on honouring your loved one.

To talk over the venue hire options we can provide, give our friendly events team a call on 0208 348 8716 or complete the private hire enquiry form below.

Testimonials

A big thank you to all concerned with our memorial celebration last Friday. Staff, assistants, volunteers, food - everything - was just perfect. It was a very successful … and that was due in no small measure to your efforts; both in the weeks leading up to the day, as well as on the day itself. – WJ

It was a beautiful ceremony and my family and friends were able to grieve together. You and all the staff have really helped me throughout this painful time and I am so grateful that I was able to honour my wife’s life in such a beautiful way. Thank you. - TH
