Handpicked London Wedding Venues

By Jenny Murtagh


For a traditional British wedding, London is a superb location full to the brim of staggeringly beautiful buildings and churches, quirky theatres and other entertainment venues, as well as contemporary arts spaces. Regardless of the amount of choice, securing a setting that will please the majority of your guests on your big day is a daunting task. Here are a couple of hot picks you may not have heard of, but are more than worthy of consideration.

Home House of Portman Square - For an outstanding central London location that will be the envy of your friends for years to come, you must have a look at this Georgian masterpiece. Despite being known as the best private members' club, not only in Europe but also Internationally, you don't actually have to be a member to host your wedding here. Behind unassuming doors, Home House comprises of three different, but equally luxurious, grand 18th century 'homes'. There are plenty of dreamy backdrops for an array of stunning photographs, a designated area for you to say your vows and a magnificent drawing room for your lavish wedding breakfast. With twenty en-suite classically furnished rooms, there is also plenty of space for your main guests to reside.

Another private members' club that you may not recognise as a typical wedding venue is The Century Club in Shaftesbury Avenue. The luxurious establishment is pure perfection in terms of capturing a newlywed's special day. With the backdrop of central London's skyline, accompanied by the beautiful lantern-lit rooftop terrace, The Century Club provides a magical wedding day experience for all to enjoy and remember. Unfortunately you cannot stay the night, but Dean Street Townhouse is very close by and can accommodate a large number of wedding guests.

There are so many venues that its incredibly difficult to whittle down the choice but, if we absolutely have to, there are two more somewhat adventurous places that are definitely ripe for consideration.

Chelsea Physic Garden's original purpose was for training botanists and it is now said to house over 5,000 species of plants as a result of this. You can hire the garden, lawn and additional events' rooms for the perfect summer wedding. Once again, as you can imagine; the stunning, natural backdrop of the gardens provides for some memorable photographs. I can't think of anywhere more serene to tie the knot, especially in the heart of such a busy city.

Last, but by no means least, we have Morrell House of Shoreditch. The incredible venue was originally built in the 1800's, but also encompasses a little of medieval Britain with an old well in the grounds taking centre stage. Morrell House also offers something a little out of the ordinary for your special day 'Cock-Teas': you pick your favourite cocktail and the staff will replicate it for you and serve it up to your guests in ornate teacups, a great way to add a touch of novelty and uniqueness.
