London has tons of incredible pubs all over the city. Some of the most posh establishments are going to be located in Soho and St. James, where you will find plenty of innovative gastropubs and places that overlook the River Thames. If you are looking for a place with a bit more of that classic “local”look  then consider places like Isilington or Clerkenwell.

Pubs are spectacular wedding venues due to their homey atmosphere and their affordable price point. These are perfect for small weddings and receptions, so you won’t have as many mouths to feed. This is a great way to help keep costs under control. Hiring a venue that isn’t centrally located is also a good idea, because the closer to the centre you get, the more the price rises. As far as food and beverages go, avoid sit-down dinners and go for small dishes and snacks during the reception so the guests can focus on socialising and dancing. When you are choosing your beverage options, tap into the pub spirit and prioritise pints over spirits.
