Approaching this desirable wedding venue is a picturesque moment; it’s a beautiful setting for couple photographs, with the original timber frames and cascading plants visible behind. On arrival, you and your guests can enjoy the gastropub’s warm alfresco terrace with a Pimms in hand in summer, or a cosy up inside sipping mulled wine if you’re opting for a winter wedding. Whatever, the weather, The Dickens Inn has a timeless character all year round.

The soaring ceilings and wooden beams complement the heritage of the venue itself, and form a natural nave under which to exchange your vows. Whilst the room is turned over for your celebratory wedding breakfast, you are able to utilise the alfresco terraces and restaurant spaces to toast to the happy couple.
The Dickens Inn is steeped in history and is named after the legendary writer Charles Dickens’ grandson, who reopened the venue after the Second World War. Antiquity breathes through its timbers, and it makes the ideal setting for a modern day love story. With catered packages starting from just 65GBP on top of venue hire, The Dickens Inn is an affordable and unique venue to consider when planning your dream London wedding.
