The best places to get married in Central London

The best places to wed – and find that dress – in the capital

It’s the most important day of your life and creates memories you’ll want to treasure forever. So, there’s no room for slip-ups when it comes to choosing your wedding venue, accommodation and of course, the perfect dress. You should give your choice of location as much thought as you would put in to finding a house to buy or rent in the capital. Here’s our guide to the top five locations for lovebirds in London to get hitched:

Notting Hill (W10)

It’s a place so romantic they made a film out of it; Notting Hill is home to The Belvedere, once a summer ballroom to the Jacobean mansion that was Holland House in the 17th century. It boasts beautiful landscapes and finery with The Bridal Temperley boutique just around the corner. Finish off your perfect day at the Shaftesbury Premier complete with champagne and rose petals scattered on the bed.

Discovering street art in London

When you wander through the capital, there’s art around every corner

Dick Whittington thought the streets of London were paved with gold. If you rent or own a property in London, unfortunately you know that isn’t true. However, the city’s streets are lined with sculptures just waiting to be discovered. Here are a few examples to kick off your exploration

Notting Hill

There is not much walking involved to see the street art of Notting Hill. Just outside the underground station is the Carnival Elephant by Nadim Karam. Look left above the Waterstone’s to see two more figures by Karam, a wild cat and a travelling carnival goer.

A slice of American life in St John’s Wood

Find a slice of traditional US culture in this leafy London district

St. John’s Wood - Abbey Road crossing

St John’s Wood, along with a handful of other North West London postcodes, has long been a mecca for American expatriates living in the city. So why is this well-heeled pocket of the capital so popular with transatlantic immigrants looking to rent or buy property? One major draw is the nearby American School in London.
