London - looking for a relaxed 'non-wedding' venue, any ideas?

Hi

I am looking to get married next year in London and am looking for a wedding reception. We don't have a big budget but have managed to find lots of venues (pubs, restaurants and halls) that don't break the bank. It's just none of these places feel very us.

The closest I found was a little crepe and waffle house that was very relaxed and friendly, had outdoor fire pits and a real traveller feel....unfortunately it had used up all its allocated bookings for next yr.

It made me think though that I should try find a more relaxed venue. I was wondering if anyone knows of any similar independent restaurants or cafes in London?

Thanks for your help!

  • Have you looked at Hirespace.com they have details of some quirky spaces!! Good Luck and if you find something come back and tell everyone!
  • Am also looking but haven't gotten very far yet. Church halls can often have a more relaxed vibe?

  • You could try the Three Stags in Kennington Road near the Imperial War Museum. It is a little different and the food is divine. They have a function room upstairs for all kinds of events.

    I grew up 2 mins from there! Small world :D

    The ceremony may be too far away to make it work but will have a look at it. Thanks.

    Look at Clifton nurseries in Little Venice. A hidden garden in the centre of London, going to a wedding there soon.
