The Queen's House is a 17th-century former royal residence in Greenwich Park, built as a house of delight for Anne of Denmark, queen to James I. Run by Royal Museums Greenwich, it offers exclusive use of its event spaces for weddings, with a gilded Great Hall, the famous Tulip Stairs and views across the park to the river and the city skyline.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends the Queen's House to couples who want a grand, historic setting that feels entirely their own. A full wedding hire gives you exclusive use of all the event spaces, so there is no other party sharing the rooms with you. It brings real sense of occasion to a London wedding while keeping guest numbers manageable.

Ceremonies

You marry in the Great Hall, on the original 17th-century marble floor beneath a gold-leaf ceiling by the artist Richard Wright. The hall holds up to 120 guests. Afterwards, the Tulip Stairs and the outdoor spaces make striking backdrops for photos with your family and friends.

Receptions and food

After the ceremony, drinks can move out to the South East Lawn and Colonnade on the park side, with open views all around. The Great Hall then becomes your banquet hall for the wedding breakfast. Below it, the Undercroft is included in a full wedding hire: three vaulted rooms for up to 150 with built-in staging, a separate dance floor, a service bar and a lounge area, plus outdoor space at the front looking towards Canary Wharf. It also gives you a wet-weather option for daytime drinks. Food, flowers, entertainment and photography are booked through a curated list of suppliers.

Getting there and the area

The house stands on Romney Road at the foot of Greenwich Park, within the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. Cutty Sark DLR station and Greenwich and Maze Hill mainline stations are all within walking distance, and river boats stop at Greenwich Pier. Guests can explore the park, the market and the riverside, with Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum close by.
