Queen's House

Queen’s House stands at the heart of Greenwich, surrounded by sweeping parkland and river views. Part of Royal Museums Greenwich, this architectural landmark forms the centrepiece of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, the Peter Harrison Planetarium, and the Cutty Sark.

Designed by Inigo Jones in the early 17th century, the Queen’s House was the first classical building in England – a royal retreat created for pleasure, art and celebration. Today, its perfect symmetry, grand colonnades, and striking marble floors offer a timeless backdrop for modern weddings. With Greenwich Park on one side and the Thames on the other, it balances history and contemporary London energy – an extraordinary setting in every sense.

The Great Hall offers one of the most striking settings for ceremonies in London. Its iconic, geometric harmony, black-and-white marble floor and gallery above create a sense of theatre and intimacy for up to 120 guests. Vows are exchanged beneath soaring ceilings and vast windows overlooking Greenwich Park.

Afterwards, couples can step out onto the Great Hall Terrace for a confetti moment framed by the House’s iconic façade – a scene that has graced countless wedding photographs.

Celebrations flow effortlessly from one elegant space to another. The Orangery and South Parlours offer light-filled rooms for drinks receptions, with French doors opening onto the lawns and views across Greenwich Park and the Royal Observatory. The adjoining balcony is an intimate spot for newlyweds to pause together and take in the scene below.

Dinner follows in the Great Hall, now transformed for the wedding breakfast beneath its grand marble floor and domed ceiling. As evening falls, guests can move down to The Undercroft – three atmospheric vaulted rooms beneath the Hall – for music, dancing and late-night celebration.

As a Grade I listed building and museum, Queen’s House does not provide on-site accommodation. However, the events team partners with trusted nearby hotels and can share recommendations to suit different styles, budgets and group sizes – keeping guests close and logistics simple.

Queen’s House works exclusively with accredited catering and production partners who understand the building’s unique heritage and event requirements. Couples can choose from a curated list of approved suppliers for catering, floristry and styling, each selected for creativity and professionalism.

Menus, décor and lighting can be fully tailored to your vision, supported by a production package that includes a PA system and coloured lighting for the Great Hall and Undercroft. From elegant dinners to late-night celebrations, every element is designed to reflect your style and story.

Queen’s House and Royal Museums Greenwich are committed to hosting events responsibly. The venue follows an environmental sustainability policy aimed at reducing waste, conserving energy, and supporting sustainable practices across all operations. Couples can review the full policy on the museum’s website.

Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, Queen’s House sits within one of London’s most beautiful historic districts. The area combines royal heritage with vibrant local life – from artisan cafés and riverside pubs to world-class art and culture. Guests can explore Greenwich Park, the Cutty Sark, or the Observatory, all within walking distance.

With panoramic views across the park to one side and the Canary Wharf skyline on the other, the setting captures both old and new London.

Queen’s House is easily reached by public transport, with Greenwich station, Cutty Sark DLR and river services all nearby. The venue lies in Zone 2, offering excellent access from central London, and parking is available in the surrounding area for guests who prefer to drive.
