London is not only the United Kingdom’s capital it is also one of the oldest cities in the world, and it’s brimming with a plethora of amazing, historical, chic, alternative and modern wedding venues for you to choose from - that are also available on a variety of budgets.
Our top two London Wedding Venues are:
Horniman Museum

environment that lets the outdoors in. In addition to this, it also has a Bandstand and Pavilion for hire. Plus, surprisingly for London: It also has a farm!
Kew Gardens
Its beautiful Orangery is world-renowned, and with 300 acres you would expect that it is only available for larger weddings but that is not the case.
Tucked away in its beautiful surroundings you will find Cambridge Cottage that seats up to 80 people making it the perfect venue for a small or medium-sized wedding breakfast and reception.
But with its many benefits, having a wedding in London also comes with its challenges. These include traffic that can make timings difficult to stick to especially if your ceremony and reception are taking place in two different areas of the city. In addition to this, there may also be events taking place that you will have to factor into your plans. Plus, the great British weather can change dramatically from day to day. You may have difficulty finding a venue that has it all, for example, many venues are stunning but have a lack of outdoor space and vice versa.
However, the pros out way the cons. London has an amazing transport system, offering your guests the option to drive, take the train, bus, tube, tram and more! You will also find lots of local suppliers in one place. Furthermore, there are lots of iconic buildings and backdrops that are typically London and loved the world over for you to take amazing pictures.
