Venue Testimonials
Absolutely loved it as a venue! It has huge windows all along the front which lets in loads of gorgeous natural light - a photographers dream! It's also right along the River Thames and has great views of the city! Perfect for photos. The staff at this venue were really friendly too. I'd highly recommend it if you are looking for a city wedding venue with gorgeous views!
