Your London Wedding - Jan/Feb 2020 (Issue 69)

BATTERSEA PARK This 200-acre leafy locale offers an array of big-day venues, all boasting views not only across the park itself but over the iconic Battersea Power Station too. Ceremonies can take place at either the Pump House Gallery, a charming Grade II* listed building, under the Victorian Bandstand or on the Bowling Green – the largest party that can be accommodated is 250 guests. For receptions, meanwhile, the Pump House Gallery can host up to 150 friends and family while the Bowling Green is ideal for larger groups of 300 loved ones. Both are ideal for al fresco affairs, with plenty of room to pitch a marquee. Ceremony licence?
