A beautiful, secret river lawn and woodland located where the river runs wild in Twickenham, where you feel transported back in time by the weeping willow. You’ll feel you’re in the depths of the country whilst being only 20 minutes from the centre of London.
Although not licensed to marry, The Secret River Garden has hosted many beautiful blessings on the lawn.
Your reception will be a bespoke experience, curated by you, where no celebration is ever the same!
Despite not having accommodation, staying locally isn’t difficult. There are plenty of lovely hotels and Airbnb on the river, from Richmond to Hampton Court.
Whilst they have their recommended suppliers list, catering is completely at your own discretion, and they don’t charge corkage!
Twickenham Riverside is a scenic spot by Eel Pie Island. Stroll along the river from Orleans House Gallery to Richmond and catch a boat to Hampton Court. Browse Church Street boutiques, take Hammerton’s Ferry to Ham House, cycle around Marble Hill and Richmond Park, and relax at the White Swan while the kids play on the beach.
The gardens are a five-minute stroll along the river from Hammerton’s Ferry and the moorings, a ten-minute walk from Twickenham Station (15 minutes to Clapham Junction, 20 minutes from Waterloo), and a ten-minute cab ride to Richmond Station (District Line). Guests often marry locally, arrive by boat, or hire a red Routemaster.
Thankyou so much for the most perfect spot for our wedding. We still walk past every weekend like we did before, but the little green gate now has an extra place in our hearts.
This is the most beautiful venue – a walled garden with a lush lawn, magical woodland positioned on a wild stretch of the river. Mischa and her family could not have been lovelier or more helpful! On the day of the wedding the sun shone and the water sparkled and we couldn’t believe our luck at finding this place. The late night bonfire with sparklers was the perfect end to an unforgettable day.
We couldn’t believe our luck when we found the Secret Garden – it is so magical and so unlike anywhere else you can have your wedding in London. We were able to have the perfect relaxed do outdoors in nature with total privacy and all the details exactly as we wanted them (unlike so many places where you have to use their caterers and everything else). We had an amazing day and our friends and family loved it too – many people told us it was the most unusual and special wedding they’d ever been to.
We are sad we no longer have an excuse to pop into your amazing garden, we can’t promise we won’t peer over from time to time to remind ourselves of an amazing day… thanks so much for being so relaxed about everything!
