As the summer is drawing in, we're helping you prolong it with these bright, light and airy venues - excellent for an autumn get-together
1. Plateau, Canary Wharf
USP The private dining room with its own wine wall
The overed, heated terrace accommodates alfresco events year-round. The indoor event spaces include the restaurant, which offers wine-matching lessons, cocktail masterclasses and whisky tastings.
2. The Crystal, Royal Victoria Docks
USP Generates its own energy
The innovative design of this super-sustainable venue means there are plenty of bright meeting rooms with large windows and views onto the water.
3. Royal Horticultural Halls, Victoria
USP Glass-vaulted ceiling for maximum daylight
Lindley Hall was originally built in 1904 to host botanical art shows. Today, it’s a welcoming white space for blank-canvas events.
4. Greenwich Yacht Club, Greenwich Peninsular
USP It's on the river, without being a boat
Cross the footbridge (or arrive by boat) to the stilted Clubhouse, and you’ll find a glass-clad event space with big windows framing a view of Greenwich Peninsula.
5. The Worx, Fulham
USP Industrial feel
High ceilings and a good lick of white paint throughout means that this 3,000sq m space feels plenty bright – even on a gloomy day.
