The Savoy, The Strand

Already affirmed as one of the best hotels in the capital this luxury five-star offering is now topping the charts as one of London’s best wedding venues. There are a number of rooms to both tie the knot and celebrate with friends and family afterwards, but our personal favourite is the Lancaster Ballroom. The opulent space is totally flexible to your needs, with elegant hand-painted walls, sparkling chandeliers and plenty of room for dinner, first dances and refined revelry. And with a separate entrance on the river side of the hotel, there really is no better spot for a lavish central London do.

Available for both ceremonies and receptions – as separate rooms for smaller weddings or as one exclusive party pad – the black marble staircase, golden chandeliers and painted ceilings provide a sophisticated canvas for you to decorate and dress as you like.
