The story

Weddings across a World Heritage Site

Royal Museums Greenwich is a group of historic venues in the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, in Zone 2 of south-east London and about ten minutes by train from Canary Wharf and London Bridge. Couples choose from several settings, and the grounds of more than 20,000 square metres can be hired alone or with any of the buildings.

The Queen's House is the most formal of them. It was completed in 1635 for Queen Henrietta Maria as a house of delight, and its Great Hall has black and white marble floors, daylight from above and a gold leaf installation by the artist Richard Wright. The hall holds 120 guests for a ceremony or dinner. The Orangery and South Parlours open onto Greenwich Park and take 40 seated, the Undercroft suits dancing for up to 150, and marquees on the lawns can accommodate outdoor ceremonies for up to 300.
