About

A Georgian Landmark on the Thames

Linden House has graced the northern bank of the River Thames between Hammersmith and Chiswick since at least 1795, with some evidence suggesting the building may date as far back as 1685. Its most famous early resident was Louis Weltje, the celebrated continental cook to the Prince of Wales, and that distinguished culinary heritage lives on in the kitchen to this day.

Currently owned by the London Corinthian Trust — a registered charity dedicated to promoting water sports on the Thames — the venue serves as the clubhouse for both the London Corinthian Sailing Club and the Sons of the Thames Rowing Club. Every wedding at Linden House directly supports the Trust's charitable objectives, making it a place where love and community are genuinely intertwined.

The building retains much of its original Georgian character: high ceilings, generous sash windows, and a warmly understated interior that feels ripe for personalisation. Its south-facing position ensures a wonderful quality of natural light throughout the day, while the iconic red front door and river-facing terrace make for memorable arrival moments and photographs alike.

Spaces & Celebrations

The Ballroom

The Ballroom is Linden House's largest and most striking event space. Three generous sash windows bathe the room in daylight and frame views out to the Front Terrace, creating a naturally bright and uplifting setting for a ceremony or wedding breakfast. The high ceilings give the room a sense of occasion, while its neutral palette makes it a blank canvas for your own creative vision.

Ceremony capacity: 72  |  Dining capacity: up to 68

The Captain's Room & The Commodore's Room

For couples seeking something more intimate, the Captain's Room and the Commodore's Room each offer a wonderfully private atmosphere for smaller ceremonies and wedding breakfasts. Both rooms take their names from the London Corinthian Sailing Club's storied history and carry a quiet, distinctive charm. They can also be hired alongside adjoining spaces for greater flexibility on the day.

Ceremony capacity: up to 40  |  Dining capacity: up to 24 per room

Dining & Evening Reception

Linden House's Executive Head Chef and his team handle all catering in-house, with a menu that ranges from elegant canapés and bowl food through to a luxury four-course wedding breakfast. The Head Chef is happy to discuss bespoke menus to suit every taste and dietary requirement. A drinks station can be set up in the Entrance Hall for a cocktail hour, the Member's Bar is available for those wanting a quieter space as the evening unfolds, and the Front Terrace is ideal for guests to mingle under open skies.
