Why Holborn

Why marry in Holborn?

Holborn sits between Covent Garden and the City of London, and it is the home of two of the four Inns of Court, Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn, where barristers have trained and worked for centuries. Weddings here take place in the Inns' historic halls and walled gardens rather than in hotels, which gives the area a character quite different from Mayfair or Knightsbridge.

Gray's Inn, the Holborn venue, is licensed for ceremonies in its Hall, the Large Pension Room and The Walks, its garden, where a summer marquee takes larger receptions.

For guests, Holborn is central and easy to reach: the Elizabeth line at Farringdon runs direct to Heathrow, and hotels in Covent Garden and Bloomsbury are within a short walk or taxi ride. The British Museum and the squares of Bloomsbury are close by for photographs.
