My wife and I got married here and Queens House was an incredible setting for our marriage. You have everything from the fine interior to grand open view of Greenwich park. Simply stunning.

The Queen’s House is one of the most iconic London wedding venues around. Formerly a Royal residence with stunning views over the River Thames and Canary Wharf, it’s now part of the Royal Museums in Greenwich, and available for exclusive hire […] The perfectly cubed Great Hall is a beautiful setting for the wedding breakfast, and the Tulip Stairs provide a memorable entrance for wedding guests.
