    Our Guide to London Waterview Wedding Venues

    The Thames is a legendary river that lies at the heart of London. It’s become a cherished part of the city’s personality, and no wonder it’s a popular backdrop for London weddings. From Royal palaces to lively pub restaurants, a characterful selection of wedding venues lines this famous waterway. VenueCrew has visited and handpicked the very best of the bunch to showcase to prospective brides and grooms.

    Take The Hurlingham Club in Fulham. This historic waterfront private members’ club has been around for centuries, and it’s become a prestigious institution. The significant part is, you don’t have to be a member to enjoy the 42 acres and gorgeous range of wedding spaces available. The couple can also make a grand boat entrance via the jetty on the River Thames.

    For an unusual waterfront setting, couples love The Dickens Inn in Tower Hill. This riverfront pub venue looks like a fairytale setting. Complete with exposed beams, cosy pub furniture and hanging baskets outside, it’s a sensational space set in St Katherines Dock. From the wedding venue, you can admire the yachts docked in the marina and the iconic Tower Bridge in the distance. For more information, download The Dickens Inn brochure.

     

    Venue Specialist Tip No. 1: Greenwich Venues Look Over The River Thames

    In East London, Greenwich is an underrated beauty that’s home to some gorgeous waterfront wedding venues. Known for its significant maritime history, the Royal Museums Greenwich venues fall under a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Such venues include The Cutty Sark, an antique tea clipper that’s now a remarkable events centre. You can dine and dance beneath its giant copper-clad hull. See for yourselves on the downloadable Cutty Sark wedding brochure. 

    Nearby, the lush lawns of Greenwich Park lead to the beautiful white mansion called Queen’s House. Built by the acclaimed architect Inigo Jones, its design is a 17th-century masterpiece. Drinks receptions can be held outside on the lawn overlooking the River Thames, or inside in the Great Hall on its striking monochrome tiles. To look into pricing and wedding packages, visit the Queen’s House venue profile.

     

    Venue Specialist Tip No. 2: Canary Wharf Is Set On The Isle Of Dog’s Riverfront

    The Isle of Dogs is famously known as London’s financial business district. It’s brimming with high rise skyscrapers, beautifully maintained walkways and stellar views of the River Thames. If you’d like a non-touristy destination to enjoy your wedding celebrations, this area of London is tranquil on weekends. It’s a peaceful waterfront destination for weddings. 

    East Wintergarden in Canary Wharf is a winner for Asian weddings and Jewish weddings, due to its large capacity. The huge glass atrium is positioned on the riverfront and allows you to bring in your suppliers and chosen caterer. The sweeping marble floors gleam in the natural daylight, and you can put your stamp on the space. Check out the East Wintergarden wedding brochure for more details. 

    Another hidden gem in Canary Wharf is the Humble Grape. This modern wine bar is stylish and adaptable to your wedding needs. The friendly team can arrange a bespoke menu and change up the furniture to suit your vision. To book a private viewing and see the stunning waterfront setting, visit the Humble Grape Canary Wharf profile.

    Westminster is not only home to the capital’s political and Royal headquarters, but it’s also an idyllic waterview wedding destination. Westminster venues are never more than a short stroll away from the River Thames, where you can take stunning wedding photos as newlyweds.
