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

THE HOLLY TREE What if we told you there’s a venue with a miniature railway in the garden? Yup, exactly – welcome to The Holly Tree. This newcomer to the Forest Gate-Leytonstone border sits on the very edge of the Wanstead Flats, meaning there’s acres of wild, green space to explore with your photographer, not to mention the charming backdrop that the Victorian façade of this newly renovated pub provides. Inside, this spacious and elegant pub has plenty of room for parties large and small from the Conservatory, which seats 50 loved ones with a further 20 diners catered for in the Outer Conservatory; or the piano room where 50 guests can toast your nuptials and intimate Snug, which seats 15 nearest and dearest. Outside, meanwhile, the capacious Rear Garden can accommodate 150 revellers and a further 60 can gather in the Front Gardens. With the aforementioned train, chess boards and vintage jukebox, there’s plenty to keep them entertained to boot. Ceremony licence?
