Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings is a multi-floor townhouse on Northampton Road in Clerkenwell, London. Plants fill the rooms, and the whole building can be booked for a wedding.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The building for couples who want a London wedding with the character of a private house. Exclusive hire means no other guests, and a venue team that has a dedicated wedding service and a clear set of options. The two ceremony spaces and a late-opening underground bar give you room to shape the day your own way.

Ceremonies

The building is licensed for wedding ceremonies. There are two spaces, each taking up to 110 guests, and both have plenty of natural light from large windows. Both are decorated for weddings, so you can choose the room that suits your guest list. Because the townhouse spans several floors, guests can move between the ceremony room, the dining space and the bars without leaving the building. This lets the day flow naturally from vows to dinner to dancing.

Receptions and food

The building holds up to 110 guests for dinner and up to 180 for a reception. In-house chefs work with you on a seasonal menu, with options from canapes and light bites to a formal sit-down dinner and late-night snacks. Menus use fresh, seasonal produce, so dishes change with the time of year. The bar is fully licensed, and the underground bar, Below & Hidden, can stay open until 2am.

Getting there and the area

The venue is in Clerkenwell, close to Farringdon station and within reach of Angel and Exmouth Market. Farringdon has Thameslink and Elizabeth line services, so guests arriving from outside London have simple routes in. Many hotels lie within a short ride, so out-of-town guests can book close by. The streets around the venue also have bars and restaurants for a welcome drink the evening before. Your photographer can use the surrounding Clerkenwell streets for portraits after the ceremony.
