Ham Yard Hotel stands in a tree-lined courtyard in Soho, two minutes from Piccadilly Circus. It is a Firmdale hotel, and Kit Kemp's interiors give it an urban village feel, with a bronze sculpture by Tony Cragg at the centre of the courtyard. The hotel is licensed to hold weddings and civil partnerships, and its spaces suit parties from a small, intimate gathering to a large celebration of up to 250 guests.

The Windmill Room takes 60 for a wedding breakfast and 120 for a reception, while the roof terrace, a leafy rooftop garden with views across the London skyline, holds 75 guests or 100 for a reception. For the evening there are the Dive Bar, the Croc Bowling Alley with its 1950s lanes and dance floor, and a private theatre of 190 seats. Weddings are catered in-house, and the 91 bedrooms and suites, including the two-bedroom Terrace Suite, let the wedding party stay on site.
