1. Swan at The Globe
Set beside Shakespeare’s Globe, Swan brings snow‑dusted romance to Bankside with the Thames twinkling outside. For showstopping winter vows, the ceremony‑licensed Underglobe delivers theatre: a sweeping staircase for grand entrances, a private mezzanine for cocktails, plus a stage, dance floor and high‑spec sound and lighting to keep the celebration sparkling.
If you’re dreaming of something cosier, the elegant Balcony Room charms with wooden floors, French windows and a private balcony framing St Paul’s. After heartfelt ‘I dos’, treat guests to seasonal, restaurant‑quality menus and let the city lights do the rest.
Location: Bankside
Capacity: 450 Reception
2. The Ministry
For an industrial‑luxe winter romance, The Ministry delivers drama without the frostbite. This revamped Victorian factory pairs brick and high ceilings with The White Space, a pristine backdrop for vows, twinkling lights and snow‑white florals. It’s a dream canvas for statement aisles, cinematic photos and a seamless switch from ceremony to party.
Continue the sparkle in The Bar & Garden, where an 11‑metre copper bar, DJ booth and outdoor fireplace with covered, heated seating keep spirits toasty. Or choose The Lounge’s curtained booths for intimate dining before a dance‑floor reveal. Flexible, stylish and brilliantly located in Borough, it’s made for wintry ‘I dos’.
Location: Borough
Capacity: 200 Standing
3. Woods Silver Fleet
For a winter romance that actually moves, Woods Silver Fleet brings London’s lights to your aisle. Say “I do” at ceremony‑licensed Woods Quay with the London Eye glittering beyond, then drift between Westminster and Greenwich aboard the sleek Silver Sturgeon or vintage Silver Barracuda. Stylish interiors and open decks frame crisp skies while the Thames becomes your cinematic backdrop.
From intimate 100‑guest vows to showstopper receptions for up to 550, expect flexible layouts, an expert crew and seasonal menus – from elegant plated dining to roving bowl food – keeping guests cosy and celebratory. Central pier pickups and skyline views deliver the wow without the windchill.
Location: Unknown
Capacity: 550 Reception
4. Warren House Hotel
Tucked away in Kingston’s exclusive Coombe Estate, Grade II‑listed Warren House Hotel sets the scene for a snow‑kissed ‘I do’. The ceremony‑licensed Edwardian Ballroom blends period grandeur with modern comforts and candlelit interiors, while six acres of landscaped gardens offer a shimmering, frost‑dusted backdrop for portraits and confetti moments.
After vows, move seamlessly to sparkling receptions with seasonal menus and curated drinks, then let guests slip upstairs to 50 bedrooms and two apartments. With exclusive‑use options, accessible spaces, free parking, handy Norbiton links and a dedicated events team to tailor every detail, this romantic retreat makes winter weddings effortless, intimate and wonderfully atmospheric.
Location: Kingston Upon Thames
Capacity: 150 Standing
5. The Inner Temple
Steeped in centuries of romance, The Inner Temple brings Georgian grandeur to winter ‘I dos’. Stained glass, heraldic shields and oak panelling set a warm, candlelit mood, while the high‑ceilinged Hall stages showstopping vows. Interlinking, ceremony‑licensed rooms – from the Parliament Chamber to the Luncheon Room – keep everything seamless from confetti to cocktails to dinner.
Outside, the award‑winning Garden gives a frost‑kissed backdrop for portraits, while inside you can scale from intimate gatherings to 400‑guest receptions. With exclusive weekend hire, dry‑hire options and a superb Midtown location between the City and West End, it’s a timeless setting for chic, cosy celebrations.
Location: Temple
Capacity: 400 Reception
6. Six Park Place
Set behind The Ritz with sweeping Green Park views, Grade I listed Six Park Place wraps winter weddings in heritage glow. Say ‘I do’ in ceremony‑licensed rooms – from the Hall of India, all polished wood and art‑deco detail, to elegant salons – then toast with champagne and seasonal dining as candles flicker. For dreamy portraits, the private Garden and park vistas bring a snow‑globe backdrop, while its St James’s address and Green Park Tube keep things simple. Ideal for intimate moments or sparkling receptions for up to 180.
Location: St James's
