Choosing Camden Town Hall

Camden Town Hall remains a famous and increasingly popular venue choice for London marriages and civil partnerships. It is a stylish grade II-listed building designed in 1899 with many wonderful and interesting features.

Grand marble staircase

The grand white marble staircase provides a perfect setting for taking photographs. You will also be able to see the names of well-known public figures, past and present, including George Bernard Shaw, engraved into the marble slabs on the civic floor.

Apart from its central London location and unrivalled transport links, another good reason to choose Camden Town Hall is because of its proximity to beautiful open spaces and squares. Regent’s Park, including the rose gardens within Queen Mary's Gardens, can act as a perfect local stop-off for memorable wedding or civil partnership photos. Russell Square and St George’s Gardens are further options just a few minutes walk from the town hall.

These places are free for everyone to enjoy but please note that filming and photography used for professional publicity needs to be licensed by the Council.

Council chamber

Council Chamber

Camden’s impressive Council Chamber is the ideal venue for larger ceremonies. The design was based on a Saxon Court, where the King would sit at the head facing his council, who would sit in a semi-circle around him.

The colour scheme in the chamber is, however, based on the interior décor of the House of Commons.

Committee room 2

Committee Room 2

This is our most popular room on the civic floor. With its grand yet intimate atmosphere, it holds up to 40 people but is equally suitable for smaller parties. It is possible to make a special request to open the division to create a larger room for up to 30 additional guests.

Committee rooms 3 and 3a

Committee Room 3

If you would prefer a smaller venue, then either of these rooms are for you as they provide the setting for a more intimate ceremony.

Committee room 3a also has a spectacular panoramic view of the magnificently refurbished St Pancras Station.

Ceremony suite

The ceremony suite is bright and airy and features luxurious gold and cream soft furnishing covers to complement the décor. It boasts contemporary art, both in the waiting area and the suite.
