London pub wedding

Hi

We recently attended a wedding at The Dickens Inn near Tower Bridge. Plenty of space, great food and right next to Tower Bridge for stunning photos. They do try and squeeze every penny they can from you (by charging extra for things like disco lights and the use of the speakers!) but I think most venues will do that sadly...

Hi Sarah,

Congratulations on your engagement. Although we aren't going with a pub, it was my second choice but there are a few too many of our family/guests that will stay over so made sense to go with a hotel venue. We never got around to looking at pubs in South London although I did see The Alma in Wandsworth that looked nice. We did, however, look at The Londesborough in Stoke Newington that was recommended to us and had a nice outdoors courtyard and they seemed to be very flexible with menu/set up etc. Their sister pub is The Peasant in Clerkenwell which also had a small outdoors space on the first level. The dining space in this pub was lovely and then you'd go downstairs for the dancing/party bit. Again, they were really friendly and accommodating in terms of menu choices and lay out in the dining room. I was ready to go with The Peasant but it made sense we had a venue with rooms. Good luck, hope the info was useful.

The antelope is huge inside! Looks like it used to be a school or something? But what numbers are you talking?

Thanks for your help ladies! I'll definitely look into these suggestions.

We both have big families so we're looking at 100 during the day and would hope for 150 in the evening. Think we may have to try and cut the guest list.... it's just so tough!
