NOMAD LONDON 02039 061 600 | www.thenomadhotel.com NoMad London takes residence in the heart of Covent Garden inside the Grade II-listed building famously known as The Bow Street Magistrates’ Court and Police Station, located directly across from the famed Royal Opera House. The venue offers elegant and adaptable spaces for weddings, big or small. The private event spaces are located within the building’s original courthouse and offices, creating a stunning backdrop for memorable occasions. Formerly the courtroom where famous (and infamous) Bow Street trials occurred, the Magistrates’ Ballroom has been transformed into a stunning formal space for private events with 75 seated people and 120 standing. An immersive mural by painter Claire Basler decorates the setting, providing the backdrop for ceremonies, seated dinners and dancing the night away. The room has an in-built stage perfectly positioned to host musicians, DJs and entertainers alike. Plus, it adjoins a stunning private bar with Royal Opera House views. Claire Basler’s stormy skies continue overhead, bathed in ample natural daylight, creating a stunning backdrop for welcome receptions. The Fielding Room is a private dining space perfect for the vows, dinners or a wedding party greenroom. Complete with original architectural details, natural daylight and incredible adaptability; the area can host 24 seated to 50 people in the evenings.
