As one of the older parts of London, Southwark offers a number of unique and atmospheric venues. Start your search along the banks of the river Thames, where you will find a number of exquisite pubs as well as some historical venues, both on and off the water! The venues in Waterloo and around London Bridge are probably the most convenient choice, as they’re located next to many public transport stations. This part of Southwark is also brilliant for industrial-style venues, including repurposed factories and warehouses. If you’re looking for large wedding venues, Bermondsey and Peckham offer some fantastic spaces that can fit a crowd. Camberwell, on the other hand, is your best shot for small and intimate venues for your special day.
