Somewhere "different" in London to get married

[SCSB79]

A work friend is looking for recommendations for somewhere different and "funky" to get married in London.

Any ideas?

[DulwichFox]

London Black Cab.

Not a lot of space for guests though. ;-)

The Golden Hind ship, near London Bridge. Headroom a bit tight though!

[felt-tip]

the south bank centre .

Chelsea Physic Garden.

Claridges Hotel. A friend of mine got married there. She had a suite with living, dining room and bedroom.

Flippin fantastic . Last year i saw a couple married and having photos taken outside the toilets in peckham rye park . At first i thought 'wow' and then i thought it was 'as good a place as any' .

Chelsea Hospital Chapel.

Bring a little cheer to the Old Pensioners.

They could even sing your favorite hymns.

All for the price of a drink for each (that's only about 350 In Pensioners )

TEN OLD Soldiers ( Chelsea Pensioners)?

Ten Old Soldiers Parading for inspection in a line,

one forgot to put his boots on and then there were Nine.

Nine Old Soldiers sitting up talking very late,

one dropped off to sleep and then there were Eight.

Eight Old Soldiers went on a holiday to Devon,

one said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.

Seven Old Soldiers sparing with swordsticks,

one sliced himself in halves and then there were Six.

Six Old Soldiers dancing and twisting in the jive

one tied himself in knots and then there were Five.

Five Old Soldiers leaving through a revolving door,

one kept going back and then there were Four.

Four Old Soldiers went out on a shopping spree,

one did not get there in time and then there were Three.

Three Old Soldiers catching the train at Waterloo,

one could not get his kitbag in so now there is Two.

Two Old Soldiers sitting on the beach in the sun,

one got chatted up by a Dolly Bird and then there was One.

Just one Old Soldier left thinking what could be done,

he went and joined up again and there was none.

Hi SCSB,

Might be worth telling your friend to take a look at this page;

http://www.suzannejames.co.uk/venue-list.asp

I guess each person's idea of 'funky' will vary, and of course if they actually want to hold their civil ceremony at the venue it will need to be licensed - not sure all the above suggestions are, though that doesn't stop you holding your reception there (or getting married the day before 'officially' at registry office, then having unofficial 'ceremony' of your choice on the day itself at any venue - you can even get a guy who will act as a 'Phoney Bishop' (or not a Bishop, but any person of your choosing on the day) to oversee your personal 'vows'). Sue has his name and contact details.

I think a lot of the venues on her page are unusual, and not ones I new about previously - Wilton's Music Hall seems pretty cool to me, as is Perch Studios, and the Garden Museum with the right lighting.

Hope this helps.

Battersea power station? Needs a bit of hoovering first obviously...

[PeckhamRose]

Depending on the time, the Rose Garden section of either Peckham Rye Park or Regents Park or Holland Park. If it is allowed!

The Pump House in Battersea Park looks pretty good.
