It's not often that the words 'London', 'wedding' and 'affordable' are mentioned in the same sentence. Add 'versatile', 'spacious', 'flexible' and 'inviting' to the mix, and we're bordering on the realms of fantasy, right?
Wrong.
Weddings are expensive - that's a fact, but with these fabulous venues, you needn't break the bank.
1. The Swan at Shakespeare's Globe
The Balcony Room at Swan is a stunning space, which overlooks some of the most iconic places in London, including the Globe Theatre. Guests can relax on the private balcony, which offers sweeping views across the City; French panelled windows allow light to flood the room. Inside, the interior is exquisite, with elegant panelled walls, a dark wood floor, and a bespoke chandelier taking centre stage.
The space is fully licensed for weddings, which means your day can fully take place here. The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe is a unique venue, quite different to any other in London.With a reputation for delicious food, immaculate service, imaginative design and spectacular production, it will certainly make your wedding day extra special.
2. The Conservatory at Barbican
Inside this Brutalist-style arts centre is a tropical utopia. The Conservatory is a truly unique space and a beautiful oasis in the middle of the City. Under the glass roof are 2000 species of tropical plants and 100s of species of tropical fish.
The Conservatory is licensed for ceremonies and can host up to 120 of your nearest and dearest (tropical fish not included.)
3. Tanner Warehouse
At the end of beautiful Bermondsey Street is this former tannery. Stylishly decorated with wood, metal, pops of colour and nods to its previous life, Tanner Warehouse certainly a photogenic space.
The venue can hold up to 450, with plenty of space for celebrating. There's also a courtyard where you can enjoy the sunshine and a bit of a breather. The private space has its own bar and kitchen to keep your guests fed and watered for a truly memorable day.
As you can see, when it comes to our venues, 'affordable' doesn't mean 'cheap'. And, marrying the love of your life partner shouldn't mean spending a small fortune.
