Wandsworth Town Hall Weddings: Capturing Modern Elegance in Wedding Photography
As a wedding photographer based in South London, Wandsworth Town Hall is just a hop, skip and a jump away from me. Wandsworth Town is the perfect register office for most South London-based couples as its conveniently located, has stunning classical architecture and a variety of wedding-friendly pubs and restaurants in the area. It also has nearby King George’s Park for those couples wanting a bit of nature in their wedding photography.
My job as a photographer on the day is to arrive 30 mins before the ceremony to take pics of the groom, family and friends as they turn up. Gives us time (weather-permitting) to make the most of the historic front of the building and the small landscaped garden area..
Wandsworth Town Hall Wedding Photography
Wandsworth Town Hall boasts 5 glorious ceremony rooms and here’s some info and pics for each one..
Wedding Photography in The Elizabeth Room
I’ve shot quite a few weddings in The Elizabeth Room over the last couple of years. One of the smaller rooms and a max capacity of only 10 people (including witnesses, photographer etc), The Elizabeth room is none-the-less small cozy and intimate. This is the one with the leather sofas! So all-round comfort for your guests. The fee varies from £58.30 to £181.50 depending on the day of the week and includes a simple, intimate ceremony and exchange of rings. You can even have your civil partnership here too.
Wedding Photography in The Victoria Room
The Victoria Room boasts a 25 person capacity. Here you can have a choice of ceremony, choice of music and a reading. Weddings cost £207.90 for a weekday and £228.80 on a Saturday.
Wedding Photography in The Alexandra Room
The Alexandra Room is a beautifully naturally-lit room so results in some awesome wedding photography. Here you can make personal vows, have a friend or family member do a reading and there is an aisle to walk down after your ceremomy. The prices here varies from £240.90 to £305.80 depending on the day.
Wedding Photography in The Grand Chamber
If your wedding party is on the large side - and Flo and Mike’s this summer was just that - this is the room for you. As the name suggests, the Grand Chamber is just that. A capacity of 100 people (again including photographer, guests, witnesses etc) it is an opulant and very super impressive for your wedding photography. Price here for a wedding is £446.60 for a weekday and £588.50 on a Saturday.

Where to Go for a Drink After Your Wandsworth Town Hall Wedding
Once you’ve said “I do” at Wandsworth Town Hall, you don’t have to go far to keep the celebration going. This part of South London is full of cosy, character-filled pubs — perfect for a relaxed drink with your guests before heading to the reception. Alternatively to host your small reception. Here are three top picks just a short walk from the registry office:
1. The Brewers Inn
This couple opted for a small wedding celebration at The Brewers Inn (which is literally opposite Wandsworth Town Hall!). The Brewers Inn is a favourite for wedding parties. With its traditional décor, a great selection of beers and wines, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s the ideal spot to raise your first glass as newlyweds. There's a cute beer garden as well as an indoor dining area if you fancy a sit-down meal.
2. The Alma
Opposite Wandsworth Town Station, The Alma is a favourite of mine, combining classic pub charm with a touch of Victorian elegance. It’s popular for its craft beer selection and sunny beer garden — perfect for post-ceremony pints or Prosecco in warmer months.
3. The East Hill
A little quieter but full of charm, The East Hill is a Young’s pub with stylish interiors and a welcoming vibe. Great for small groups looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a celebratory toast in a more intimate setting.
Whether you’re planning a full reception later or just want to pause and enjoy the moment, these pubs near Wandsworth Town Hall are the perfect pit stops for post-wedding drinks in South London.
