London is very well connected by public transport (including our beloved 'Tube' and Night Buses). We recommend downloading CityMapper (https://citymapper.com/) or using Google Maps to help guide the best way to get around across all modes of transport. Uber is also of course easily available, and reasonably priced alongside our famous black cabs.
We wish we knew! London has famously variable weather. Expect anything from glorious sun @ 30c (86f) to cloudy and rainy @ 15c (60f).
We hope to have some drinks before dinner in an outdoor (but covered) area at the Old Royal Naval College. However, we will have an indoor area to move to, in case of poor weather. Everything else will be indoors. The boat (transport to the reception) will also be covered.
We are so excited to spend our wedding weekend with all of you! We appreciate that many of our guests are travelling from abroad to join us. Luckily, London has many great options to choose from! Our events are spread across 3 different, but well connected areas, so there is no 'perfect' area - any location in Central London will work well, especially with London's solid public transportation options and Uber/Taxis! London is your oyster! Some guests will be staying in South Kensington, due to its proximity to the ceremony (though South Kensington can be on the more expensive side). Therefore, if you are looking for an area suggestion - places in South West London / South Kensington, next to the ceremony location would be recommended. London is serviced by many airports and transport links. However, Heathrow may be the most convenient airport choice due to its access via the Piccadilly Line to South Kensington (where the ceremony is).

Yes - please ensure you have this reflected in your meal choices in the RSVP. Unfortunately, the venue has made it very clear that changes of options on the day will not be possible, so it's important we get this right for you!
Yes, we encourage guests to post pictures on to their social media channels, our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #s&p2022 so we can keep track of all of your pictures!

The Old Royal Naval College is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London. Described by UNESCO as being of "outstanding universal value" and reckoned to be the "finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles". It was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and built between 1696 and 1712. The Painted Hall boasts one of the most spectacular Baroque interiors in Europe. The incredible ceiling and wall decorations were conceived and executed by British artist Sir James Thornhill. The epic painting scheme, known as ‘Britain’s Sistine Chapel’ took nineteen years from the start of the commission to its completion in 1726.
