1. Wilton’s Music Hall
Built in 1858, this auditorium is actually the oldest surviving grand music hall in the world. Though no longer a home to all the glorious decorations of its day, the dereliction of its original features makes it a deeply atmospheric and magical venue to step into.
Hire of Wilton’s for a wedding includes the whole building, covering the bars, the Victorian staircase, and the Hall with its famous barley-twist columns – perfect for your ceremony, wedding breakfast and with plenty of space for dancing. This means closing it to the public and is therefore a very exclusive opportunity, with only a select number of dates available a year.

2. The Asylum Chapel
Asylum Chapel will take your breath away – every time. A Grade II listed building built in 1826 and bombed in WWII, this derelict church is a wonderland of atmospheric lighting, crumbling teal stone, and whispers of days past. The Chapel is in Peckham, and is a ceremony-only venue licensed for up to 120 people (a dreamy opportunity to take your guests to One Friendly Place for the wedding reception!). Perfect for couples looking for something that little bit different, but still with a momentous, imposing backdrop for their ceremony.
3. One Friendly Place
One Friendly Place is simply an awesome melting pot of cool stuff. This space was originally built in the 1930s as a spice warehouse, and spans 7500 sq ft over four floors, including a 1500sq ft secret rooftop. This warehouse / studio is the epitomy of industrial chic – a space for rockstars and hip, wild parties until the early hours, mismatched furniture, unexpected artwork, and making new traditions.
