The collection
This page lists the wedding venues in London that sit in the Luxury collection. There are 25 venues in it today. The selection is editorial. An editor has reviewed each venue against the selection criteria, it hosts weddings, it is listed with its own consent and its record is complete. No venue pays to be included, and neither membership nor payment decides it. Each venue keeps one profile and one address and may also appear in the general list of wedding venues in London.
The venues
The kinds of venue in London are Hotel (23). Hotels are by far the largest group, so in many cases the ceremony room, the dinner and the rooms for guests are in one building. A smaller number are historic halls and museums, which suit couples who want a setting rather than a hotel.
Capacity
25 of the 25 venues publish a seated dinner capacity, from 44 guests to 528, with a middle figure of 180. Rooms in London are often sized by the building, so a venue may take far fewer guests for a seated dinner than it takes for a reception. The profile gives the figures the venue has published. 19 venues list rooms or suites on site and 14 offer exclusive use in full or in part.
Prices
11 of the 25 venues publish a starting price. London venues most often quote a price per guest or a venue hire fee, and the profile says which. The figures are in pounds as the venue gave them. They are not comparable with one another, because the inclusions differ, and where no price is published none is estimated.
Getting there
A city venue is easy to reach, but the detail still matters for guests who are travelling: the nearest station, the drive time from the airports and whether there is parking. The profile uses the figures held for each venue. The London destination guide compares the areas of the city, and the Atlas holds the practical detail.
How the collection is chosen
A London venue appears here only after an editor has checked that its record is complete, that it has at least ten photographs and a written introduction, and that it publishes a seated dinner capacity. These are minimum standards, not a ranking. The cards follow the recommended order, with venues that have a checked starting price and reviews first and then by name, and no venue pays to rank higher. Editors review the list and can add or remove a venue whenever the facts change.
