Your London Wedding - Mar/Apr 2020 (Issue 70)

& THE STRATFORD From the team behind Chiltern Firehouse and St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, The Stratford occupies an extraordinary building designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill – the architects behind the world’s most iconic skyscrapers, the Burj Khalifa and One World Trade Centre among them. This 42-storey, double-cantilevered tower features expansive living spaces, three sky terraces, two restaurants, bars, a club and a design hotel. Ceremonies and receptions can take place on the Mezzanine (up to 200 guests), in the hotel’s on-site restaurant, Allegra, where some 80 loved ones can witness your vows, or in one of the three Sky Gardens: the 25 th level Cedar Garden is ideal for late-night parties, with its firepit and bar; the 36 th level Japanese Garden offers a zen Alpine feel while adjoining the restaurant on the 7 th floor, friends and family can explore the cedar pathways and landscaped gardens overlooking the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
