About this space

Once the original chapel of the house, the Oratory is the perfect setting for intimate dining, private meetings and cosy celebrations.

The Oratory is also London's most intimate historic wedding venue. Licensed for civil ceremonies, our unique oratory is a breathtaking setting on a small scale for you to celebrate your wedding with your very nearest and dearest.

The unique design remains just as it was originally intended, lending itself ideally to romantic and exclusively private wedding celebrations. Seamless service will ensure you and your guests have everything you desire with discreet precision.

Civil Ceremony · 8 guests · October 2025
We had an unforgettable and intimate wedding at The Milestone Hotel. From the very beginning, the service was exceptional — we always received quick responses and truly appreciated the care and flexibility that Emma showed in every interaction. The hotel itself is beautiful and cosy, exactly what we wanted for the kind of celebration we had in mind. Every single detail was perfectly taken care of, from the flowers and dinner to the beautiful bedroom. The service was five-star, and the staff were so friendly and attentive, making sure we and our guests had a wonderful time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
There’s really nothing to dislike — the only tiny downside was that the pool was a bit too cold when we tried to use it. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect!

Everything. This venue exceeded all of our expectations and provided a luxury experience from start to finish. All staff members went above and beyond for us and it felt like we were in a private residence. A true personal touch and romantic feel.
Nothing.

The Oratory is perfect for an intimate wedding. The hotel is beautiful and historic with lots of differently styled spaces to enjoy. The option to create a completely bespoke menu with the chef. Dedicated and friendly team of staff. Unique experiences like sabrage.
None - we can't recommend The Milestone Hotel highly enough.
