Gay Friendly Wedding Venue in Tower Hill, London. EC3N 4DH

LGBTQ Inclusive Wedding Venue in London

Trinity House, home to the General Lighthouse Authority, is one of London’s most impressive private venues offering delightful views over Trinity Gardens of the historic Tower of London. Licensed for civil weddings in two rooms, it is easily accessed by car or the underground and has been the location for memorable occasions for over 30 years. The venue is available on an exclusive-use basis.

Behind the building’s imposing Georgian facade are five graceful rooms – The Library, Court Room, Pepys Room, Luncheon Room and Reading Room, all catering for formal banqueting and weddings ranging in capacity from 10 to 130 seated places (180 standing). The building’s grand Reception Hall, leading to a distinctive, twin-curved staircase, and Quarterdeck first floor corridor houses remarkable maritime artefacts - including the bell from the Royal Yacht Brittania - that bear testament to the prominent role played by Trinity House in the nation’s maritime history.

The oval-shaped Library is the venue’s most spacious room seating up to 130 and characterised by a minstrel’s gallery, two stunning crystal chandeliers, and beautiful heritage stained-glass windows. The room contains a fascinating display of antique silverware and its elegant proportions and dramatic view of the Tower of London make it a uniquely English setting for unforgettable celebrations. The adjacent Reading Room is an option for a pre-reception private lunch or dinner for up to 10 people, and the ancillary Pepys Room to one end of The Library provides a flexible addition for banqueting set-up or use as a separate dance-floor.

Accommodating up to 130 standing and 80 seated, the south-facing Court Room is suffused with natural light from three large windows and offers sweeping views encompassing the Tower of London to the left and the spectacular new Shard glass tower to the far right. The floor is covered with a carpet featuring the arms of Trinity House while the trompe l’oeil painting restored by the famous pre-Raphaelite artist, William Homan Hunt dominates the ceiling. Both the Court room and adjoining Luncheon room have working fireplaces for cosy winter events, the latter lined with imposing portraits of benefactors and ideal for intimate seated events for up to 20 or receptions for up to 40.

When same-sex marriage was legalised in 2014, Trinity House was delighted to be one of the first venues where this joyful ceremony took place.
