Grade I-listed Georgian house facing the Tower of London · Tower Hill, City of London
5.01 reviewAn exclusive-use Georgian venue on Tower Hill, home of the General Lighthouse Authority, with views of the Tower of London and dry hire.
Trinity House on Tower Hill is an exclusive-use Georgian wedding venue in historic central London, with glorious views of the Tower of London. It is the home of the General Lighthouse Authority, and its rooms hold maritime treasures and artefacts, including the brass bell from the Royal Yacht Britannia. The whole property is taken for the wedding, which gives the party complete privacy for the day. Five rooms of varying sizes and decorative styles provide flexibility for the different stages of a wedding day, so a celebration can move through the house in turn.
Gold-crested red leather chairs and polished mahogany tables, the house's own furniture, are included in the hire, with a choice of long or round tables. The house is available for wedding ceremonies, receptions and private celebrations throughout the year, and an in-house events team plans the weddings held there. It is an alternative to a standard hotel-style wedding package, with the couple deciding how the food and drink are handled. It is a setting for wedding breakfasts, receptions and private dining, and it suits Asian weddings among other traditions. The use of the Royal Yacht Britannia bell is also part of the hire. Early enquiry is recommended for popular dates and weekend celebrations, since demand is high, particularly at weekends.

Trinity House hosts wedding ceremonies in the Library, seated or standing. The Court Room can also hold a seated ceremony, and its high ceilings and trompe l’oeil painting give it a formal character. The three-hour dry-hire wedding ceremony special runs between 9 am and 5 pm on weekdays and weekends, and includes use of all five rooms.
The Library is the main room and the principal room, with crystal chandeliers, heritage stained-glass panels, a display cabinet of important silver and a minstrels’ gallery. It seats up to 130 guests for a wedding breakfast, and takes up to 200 for a standing reception. The Court Room can hold a post-ceremony reception for up to 130 guests. Two smaller connecting rooms link to the Library and give a separate space for a dance floor, or can create different stages of the celebration, including a dedicated dancing area. The rooms also include a Reception lobby. Couples can request the careful use of a grand ceremonial sword to cut the wedding cake.
Trinity House is a dry hire venue. Catering is in-house or by an outside caterer. A kitchen is available, and kosher catering is an option. Under the ceremony special, bridal parties may bring their own beverages without a corkage charge, and two waiters and glassware are included at no additional cost.
Trinity House does not provide overnight accommodation, so guests stay off site. The Tower Hill location is in a well-connected part of the capital, which makes onward travel convenient for those attending from within London, elsewhere in the UK or internationally.
