About Two Tem

ple Place01

Exclusively yours for the most memorable day of your life. Two Temple Place is a hidden gem of Victorian architecture and design, and one of London’s best-kept secrets. Commissioned by William Waldorf Astor for his London office and pied-a-terre in 1895, this fully-licensed, riverside mansion is now one of London’s most intriguing and elegant wedding venues.

Say `I do’ in one of our three licensed ceremony rooms and enjoy every aspect of your big day, from ceremony to wedding breakfast and dancing all under one roof.

Sip champagne in Astor’s private Library; surprise your guests with a journey through our secret door; dine in splendour in the majestic Great Hall or dance the night away in the grand Lower Gallery. With a beautiful garden forecourt which acts as a suntrap in the summer months for celebratory drinks and canapés, whatever the time of year Two Temple Place is endlessly flexible and packed with individual charm and character.

Let our dedicated Events team and our experienced approved suppliers guide you through every aspect of the planning process, ensuring an unforgettable day for you and your guests.

All funds generated from the hire of Two Temple Place support the philanthropic mission of The Bulldog Trust, registered charity 1123081.
