Couples can make the most of the location with a drinks reception on the terrace. Located over five floors, this Grade I listed Georgian warehouse seamlessly blends contemporary decor with historic charm. Tracing the 2,000-year history of London’s river, port and people, it offers a selection of beautiful settings with features such as exposed brickwork, Caribbean pine columns, galleries and blank-canvas spaces. LET’S CELEBRATE! Vows take place in four characterful areas, from the intimate No. 1 Warehouse Gallery (30 guests) to the large and flexible Wilberforce Room (200 guests). Post vows, couples can combine the ceremony rooms with some of the incredible galleries to host their drinks reception and after party (up to 400 guests), all of which offer a truly memorable event. Couples will love the newly launched Riverside Room (300 guests). This atmospheric space embodies the history of the building and benefits from its own terrace, with Canary Wharf views. WE LOVE… The immersive Sailortown gallery is a crowd-pleasing recreation of a London district, complete with its own pub. Adding actors to mingle with guests will boost the experience.
