60 Great Queen Street

60 Great Queen Street is a Grade II* listed Art Deco building in Covent Garden, central London, hired out for weddings on an exclusive basis. It suits couples who want a city wedding with real architectural presence.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends 60 Great Queen Street for couples who want a blank, characterful stage rather than a fixed theme. The building is yours alone on the day, so you can shape the mood, the music and the guest experience without sharing the space. It also hosts a wide spread of ceremony styles, which gives you room to write something that reflects you both.

Ceremonies

Civil ceremonies are licensed here. You can also hold a humanist or celebrant-led ceremony, an interfaith or multicultural ceremony, or a Jewish ceremony with a stage and a chuppah. There is no outdoor space, so everything takes place indoors, among the mosaic ceilings and period detail. Hire starts with the Vestibules and the rooms beside them, and extra breakout rooms can be added for drinks, speeches or quiet moments.

Receptions and food

The venue works with an exclusive catering partner and also keeps a list of approved in-house and specialist caterers. Halal, kosher, vegan and Asian menus can all be arranged, though kosher catering is limited to pre-approved caterers. There is a licensed bar, a dance floor and permission for live music, so the same space can move from ceremony to dinner to party.

Staying

There is no accommodation on site. The venue shares a list of nearby hotels, and Covent Garden, Holborn and the South Bank all have plenty of rooms within a short walk or taxi ride.

Getting there and the area

The address is 60 Great Queen Street, WC2B 5AZ. Holborn and Covent Garden Underground stations are both a few minutes away on foot, and several bus routes run along nearby Kingsway and Aldwych. The surrounding streets hold theatres, restaurants and pubs, which makes it easy to plan a pre-wedding dinner or an after-party for guests.
