Seconding the suggestion of the Chumleigh Gardens almshouses in the middle of Burgess Park if you want a quirky setting and to give money back to the Community. Or the Garden Museum - lovely lovely setting!


For something a bit more funky I would definitely investigate SLG; it's an amazing space, just hop across the road from the registry office. Nearby there is also the Crypt in St Giles church. We had a brilliant joint birthday party a few years ago - I think max be about 70 tho? And also not sure if there would be room for a full sit down reception..


Further afield there is also that island on the Thames you can hire out... details here


Happy hunting!

My friends had their reception at the EDT but lots of the guests ended up downstiars smoking and bumping into uninvited guests in main bar and not really returning upstairs! I've never heard of that island before YAK and I love the idea of 'trapping' my guests onto an island!! God I sound like Bridezilla! Defo got the unique factor though.


This has turned into a really useful thread for anyone to browse who may be interested in a London wedding. Such useful suggestions. I feel like I have an army of planners now!


If anyone fancies adding 'must haves' for a wedding I'll greatly appreciate that too.

One things I've seen recently is a basket full of flipflops labelled 'Dancing shoes'. I love that idea!

Yes, as Otta says you can get hitched or just have your reception at the Horniman and then move on to the EDT or upstairs at the Mag. Neither were hugely expensive to hire (this was 4 years ago though) and solved the problem of the 11pm curfew and for us, gave our older guests the perfect opportunity to slip off.

      We R Blighty Scam on Lordship Lane

      By Insuflo · Posted

      There was good item on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme You &Yours on 1st December. It was about these CIC fund raising scams and refers to this We R Blighty mob in particular (they have been successfully prosecuted twice and fined for their activities in the City of London). Also mentioned the “knife crime charity” lot who also show up in ED. The advice was to give them nothing and that they are breaking the law. It’s on the BBC Sounds app or via this link  (the item starts at 41m51s in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n065      I think you know perfectly well that is not what the poster is saying. There are a lot of CICs (there are now 37,000 of them) that have been set up specifically to mislead the public into handing over money. This We R Blighty is one such. These are the details of one of the cases against them in the City last month: https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-told-to-pay-out-thousands-over-illegal-collections/

      Are you saying all CICs are dodgy? I think that’s totally unfair.

      Similar deal to those Hive City guys who also camp outside of M&S, also a dodgy CIC rather than a charity

      Please be careful of border collie off lead in Peckham Rye

      By Angelina · Posted

      please report this to the police - were there any witnesses? She should face charges. the owner should not allow dogs off lead - I'm so sorry this has happened.  It would be good if you can identify her - are there cameras - in the cafes around? - follow her, find her address and report her. https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/ac/animal-crime/ also report to the park wardens so they can be found Your Local Council: Contact them to report issues in parks or public areas, especially if you know the dog or owner, as they investigate under local bylaws and the Dangerous Dogs Act. https://www.gov.uk/control-dog-public/report-a-dog
