Ladbroke Hall, West London’s cultural hub for art, design and performance, has reopened its garden for the summer season, introducing a brand new pizza concept from Pollini at Ladbroke Hall, and a series of immersive activities extending from the arts to sports, running until August. Sitting at the intersection of the arts, architecture, food, music and design, Ladbroke Hall for the first time has extended its multidisciplinary programming to its garden, manifesting as a creative oasis in the heart of West London.
Pollini at Ladbroke Hall, the namesake restaurant by Italian Chef Emanuele Pollini, sits at the centre of Ladbroke Hall and remains the central hub of the garden. Focused on convivial dining and the generosity of sharing, Pollini has recently been reimagined as an elevated osteria encouraging a spirit of gathering and casual dining. The revamped spring and summer menu will be available in the garden this season, alongside the launch of Giardinetto, a new pizza concept launching in mid-June 2026 for the summer.
Available to all guests dining al fresco, the new menu of pizzas further extends the restaurant’s shift towards more casual dining options, while remaining committed to quality, craftsmanship and provenance. The menu will offer a range of classic pizzas, from the Bufalina, with San Marzano tomato, buffalo mozzarella, and basil to the Mortadella and Pistachio, with Mortadella di Bologna I.G.P., stracciatella, and pistachio and the Wagyu Bresaola, with Wagyu bresaola, rocket, and parmesan. The Giardinetto menu will also be available for takeaway, ideal for a convenient lunch or post-show bite.
This year, Ladbroke Hall is kicking off a full programme of activities in the garden, spanning all disciplines, from floral design to art and sports. From 19 – 25 May, timed to the iconic RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Ladbroke Hall is partnering with artist Russ Jones and floral artist Ace Berry to create “Playground in Bloom”, an immersive, floral installation at the Prouvé House. Nestled amongst the bamboo trees in Ladbroke Hall’s garden, Prouvé House is Jean Prouvé’s restored 1944 Maison Démontable – a rare post-war prefabricated structure presented by Carpenters Workshop Gallery as a permanent architectural installation within the venue’s landscape-designed garden. With the installation, visitors will discover a collection of poems throughout the garden, intended to be read aloud to the trees and plants, as well as a communal writing table to share memories of childhood play in the city.
Ladbroke Hall has also partnered with Alexandra Lunn, founder of Well-Crafted, a London-based studio curating thoughtful craft workshops, to serve as the venue’s ‘Workshop Curator’ for the summer. Every Sunday for 12 weeks, starting on 7 June, Alexandra will host a craft workshop that will offer a creative, hands-on learning experience. Workshops will range from learning to create a personalised typeface to decorating a Wimbledon straw hat and learning traditional folk art through Polish paper cutting. The series is available to attend on an individual basis or a summer camp package inclusive of eight or all 12 sessions.
As London prepares for a summer of sports, Ladbroke Hall will also offer an opportunity to view both Wimbledon and the FIFA World Cup. Wimbledon on Screen will be available starting on 4-5 July to watch the fourth round of the grand slam, with Prouvé House x Wimbledon. On Saturday, 11 July and Sunday, 12 July, spectators can catch both the Women’s and Men’s Finals with a premium, ticketed viewing experience, bringing Wimbledon to life with Strawberries & Cream and Pimms. Football fans will be able to catch the World Cup semi-finals with a free screening on 14-15 July, before the third place match on Saturday, 18 July and finals on Sunday, 19 July. The two final matches will be ticketed, offering guests draft beers, dinner or late-night snacks.
