Kimpton Fitzroy London is a landmark Victorian hotel on the eastern side of Russell Square in Bloomsbury, central London. Weddings centre on its Grade II listed ballroom and the Palm Court beside it, with guest bedrooms upstairs and the square's gardens across the road. A Pyrenean marble staircase and an ornate Victorian facade set the tone from the moment guests arrive.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends Kimpton Fitzroy for couples who want a grand London wedding with everything in one building. A dedicated wedding manager runs the day, menus are planned with the executive chef, and your guests can stay on site, so nobody has to travel once the party starts.

Ceremonies

The hotel hosts both classic and contemporary ceremonies. For something outdoors, a ceremony or drinks reception can be held in Russell Square opposite the hotel. Talk to the wedding team about which spaces suit your numbers and whether you need a registrar.

Receptions and food

The ballroom seats between 15 and 200 guests and has a coffered ceiling, a full wall of windows, a mezzanine gallery, staging and a large dance floor. It has its own private entrance. Next door, the Palm Court has a Champagne bar, an indoor winter garden with floor-to-ceiling trees and an outdoor terrace, which works well for drinks before dinner. Eight further event rooms can be used for gatherings before or after the wedding. Menus are tailored to your tastes and dietary needs, with tastings beforehand, and the hotel works with kosher and kosher-style caterers.

Staying

Kimpton Fitzroy is a hotel, so you and your guests can stay on site. Discounted room rates are offered to couples and their guests.

Russell Square station on the Piccadilly line is a short walk away, and King's Cross St Pancras, Euston and Holborn are all close. The British Museum and the squares of Bloomsbury surround the hotel.
