About

The Queen's House in London, a masterpiece of classical architecture, stands as a testament to elegance and artistry. Nestled within the historic Greenwich Park, it exudes timeless charm and showcases a stunning collection of art and history.

Conceived as a ‘House of Delight’ for James I’s Queen, this exquisite former royal residence is set in the green and leafy surroundings of Greenwich Park, London, with spectacular views across the gardens of historic Greenwich to the River Thames and the contrasting skyscrapers of Canary Wharf beyond.
 
Designed by the pioneering architect Inigo Jones, the Queen’s House is Britain’s first and finest classical building and a masterpiece of 17th-century architecture. The House is now filled with art and design classics, both old and new, including paintings by great British and European masters.

 

Queen's House

 

From drinks on the lawns with sweeping park views to unforgettable ceremonies and dinners in the striking Great Hall to dancing into the night in the atmospheric stone-arched Undercroft, the Queen’s House is a very special place to celebrate.

Exceptional
Our experience with the Queen’s House was exceptional and I do not think any more could have been done to enhance the service. We were particularly impressed with just how flexible and accommodating the Queen’s House was given the historical significance of the building, our unique requirements, and the various weather scenarios we had… Overall, we cannot thank Guilia & The Queen’s House enough for making our wedding the best day ever.

Incredible from start
I cannot think of a single thing that could improve on QH and its staff, especially Nick, who was incredible from start to finish and went the extra mile and then some. Just amazing. The venue blew everyone away – rightly so – and the food was outstanding. Totally magical!!

Could not speak more highly of our experience
We are simply so impressed with the Queen’s House, and could not speak more highly of our experience… On the day, our guests were incredibly impressed with the venue and staff… I would recommend the Queen’s House to friends and colleagues. It’s expensive but so so worth it, and it is safe to say that the choice of venue was one of the biggest talking points amongst guests on the day, and since. Thank you!

Rich in history
We visited many venues in London but we are so happy to have decided on the Queen’s House for our wedding venue. It is rich in history, set amongst the foot of the Royal Park, with a beautiful landscape in the backdrop. The architecture and environment is classic and picturesque. It was a great pleasure working with the Queen’s House staff in planning our event and they were very accommodating of our ideas, schedule, and requirements. We had the best experience and we’d highly recommend it as a venue for a special occasion.

Unbelievable,
The team at Queen’s House are unbelievable, they made our special day amazing with their attention to detail, kindness and professionalism. We had Nick take care of us and he was with us every step of the way from the planning, to the walk through, to co-ordinating our suppliers and then making sure it all ran to plan on the day. We cannot say enough about Nick and the team. We would recommend Queen’s House to anyone planning a wedding.
