Hello,


I started a post like this previously for wedding venues and we think we have found our reception venue here in ED but are currently struggling to find a ceremony venue.


We need somewhere that will hold 80 people

We need a Saturday hire



I've looked at Beauberry house but they don't accept bookings for ceremony only until 3 months before your chosen date which is just cutting to too fine. From what I can find Southwark registry office only seats 40. I think Marylebone is too far away to make everyone travel in Saturday traffic (reception in ED). Horniman is lovely but only do Friday and very pricey!! Does anyone else have any ideas??? We are getting married in winter so venues seem more interested in ceremony only hire I just can't find one that ticks the above boxes.



Thanks a lot

Another vote for dulwich college? Had the old library, a 2 hour slot is the most basic option so enough time to decorate and a little hanging around after to get people in cars and maybe take a few snaps. They were lovely to deal with. But it's not cheap in my opinion.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
