TOWER OF LONDON 020 3166 6226 | www.hrp.org.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Founded by William the Conqueror in the 1070s, the Tower of London is one of the world’s most famous fortresses and a World Heritage Site standing proudly alongside the River Thames. At the centre of this ancient fortress is its oldest and most recognisable building – the iconic White Tower. LET’S CELEBRATE! The King’s Great Hall on the first floor is a truly special space for dinners of up to 80 guests and drinks receptions for up to 250 friends and family. The versatile New Armouries, with its rugged wooden ceiling, is suited for any large drinks reception or dinner, accommodating up to 300 guests. Celebrations in the vaulted Wakefield Tower can spill out onto the Battlements, treating guests to a stunning panoramic backdrop of Tower Bridge and the River Thames. Surrounding the fortress is the famous grass moat, forming yet another picture-perfect backdrop for photographs. WE LOVE… Now holding a ceremony licence, couples can say their vows as well as celebrate in this world-famous location. ASYLUM 07539 595 158 | www.maverickprojects.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Found in South East London, Asylum is nestled in the grounds of a residential estate of traditional almshouses. This hidden gem is a beautifully distressed, Grade II listed chapel with historic pillars towering over the large double front doors. Inside, the ceremony-only venue retains its original features, while festoon lighting and flickering candles across the altar add to the ambience for wedding ceremonies. LET’S CELEBRATE! Part of Maverick Projects, a selection of unique event spaces, Asylum has one main space seating 120 guests for the I dos. Couples can toast their vows and enjoy canapés with their loved ones, but full receptions must be taken offsite. WE LOVE… The stained-glass windows have survived since 1847 when the chapel was established, and now create a beautiful atmosphere. https://eclection-photography.com www.mirandaparry.com www.mirandaparry.com https://eclection-photography.com 26
