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.

    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
