The Museum of London Docklands is a bespoke and interesting venue for your wedding reception or civil ceremony. The Grade I-listed Georgian warehouse boasts panoramic views across Canary Wharf, and the historic atmosphere combined seamlessly with the contemporary décor will ensure your event is an unforgettable one.
There are plenty of unique photo opportunities to be found in the various galleries and spaces on offer at the museum. Stage a romantic walk through the shadowy Victorian streets, sojourn at the tavern in Sailor Town, or capture the character of your wedding venue with a pose amongst the original Caribbean pine wood columns and floors.
The Museum of London Docklands is managed by the Museum of London award-winning, charitable institution. It is funded by a variety of organisations and individuals including the City of London Corporation and GLA.
The museum's port and river collection has been housed in the 200-year-old warehouse since 2003, and the artefacts reveal the story of London's long history as a port and centre of trade, business and migration.
