South Place Hotel

South Place Hotel is a modern hotel on South Place in the City of London, close to Moorgate and Liverpool Street. It hosts civil ceremonies, wedding receptions and the celebrations that follow, all under one roof.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

With the ceremony, dinner, party and bedrooms in a single building, your guests never need to leave. An in-house wedding coordinator keeps everything on track, and exclusive use is available if you want the whole space for your celebration. It suits couples who want a stylish city wedding without the travel between venues.

Ceremonies

The hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies. Its private rooms can be set up for an intimate ceremony or a larger one, then turned around for dinner. Purdey and Steed are the rooms most often used for the ceremony and wedding breakfast.

Receptions and food

The hotel seats up to about 100 for a wedding breakfast and holds up to around 180 for a standing evening reception. Further rooms provide space for a dance floor and lounge, and the Secret Garden works well for drinks after the ceremony.

Catering is in-house, with a menu tasting, a multi-course wedding breakfast and a full wine list. Halal and vegan menus are available. The hotel is also home to Angler, its seventh-floor restaurant with a roof terrace, and Bluebird City.

Staying

There are around 80 bedrooms on site, including bridal and honeymoon suites, so guests can stay over and enjoy a slow breakfast the next morning. There is also a spa offering for a little recovery.

Getting there and the area

Moorgate is the nearest station, and Liverpool Street and Bank are each about a five-minute walk away. Finsbury Circus, the Barbican and Shoreditch are all nearby, and London City Airport is an easy journey for guests flying in. The City is quiet at weekends, which makes arrivals and photographs on the surrounding streets more relaxed.
