What was once an architectural salvage yard in a ruined Georgian mansion is now a quirky restaurant and party venue that hosts weddings. Of its many rooms, we love the Study, a lofty 18th-century panelled room adorned with a chandelier and fireplace. The food’s spectacular too.
Capacity 110
In an 18th-century former hospital, this members club has a broad spectrum of event spaces, including a bar and lounge, games room and gallery space. The club is licensed to hold civil ceremonies and can cater for every stage of the celebration, from the official vows through to late-night dancing.

A recent refurbishment has taken this Georgian townhouse back to its original best: restored marble fireplaces and oil paintings help make it an attractive exclusive-use wedding venue. We’re fans of the high-ceilinged Ballroom and the nearby grand staircase. There’s a roof terrace, too.

This Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse has been carefully restored to introduce contemporary interiors across almost 30 rooms. Highlights include the courtyard garden, complete with a ‘living wall’ and water feature, and a large Orangery, which makes a great space for wedding breakfasts of 120.

A Grade II-listed townhouse in Marylebone, Asia House offers a thoroughly modern approach to wedding planning in a traditional setting. Its three spaces make features of their moulded ceilings, marble fireplaces and sparkling chandeliers, but are easily dressed with personal themes and colour schemes.

Largely known for Vivek Singh’s high-end Indian cuisine, The Cinnamon Club is a Grade II-listed building with a selection of spaces available for weddings.

Hidden down one of the side streets off Fleet Street, this second Humble Grape wine bar is located under St Bride’s, one of London’s oldest churches.

On the light-filled Upper Concourse of Grade I-listed St Pancras International, you’ll find Europe’s longest champagne bar. It’s a fine place to launch a reception, while breakfasts can be taken in the art deco-style brasserie close by. Once everyone is done with the dancefloor, the bride and groom can make a memorable goodbye by jumping on a Eurostar to the continent.

Recently refurbished and extended, this Grade II-listed post-war livery hall is an impressive location for City weddings. Indoors, there are three grand rooms which work well for ceremonies.

This Tower Bridge venue dates back to the 18th century and has five spaces available. The standout is the Court Room, with its intricately painted ceiling and space for 80 seated guests. The view of the Tower of London from the 130-capacity Library is hard to beat.
