This venue and grounds are stunning and in excellent condition to hold events in. However it is greatly let down by the terrible customer service and the people who manage the bookings.

Read moreThis Library is situated in Manor Farm, Ruislip. It is probably the nicest looking Hillingdon library, as it's in a barn.
