Lambeth Town Hall

Lambeth Town Hall is a beautiful place to be married in Brixton. As a wedding photographer I'd highly recommend it for registry office weddings in London. There are a choice of rooms for ceremonies and celebrations. The circular hall is the standout. Very close to Brixton tube and transport links, you can twin it with a walkabout in Brixton for some fab photographs. There's outdoor space in the courtyard for your guests and it's a brilliantly well run and friendly space. I love photographing weddings here.

We had our wedding ceremony in the Olive Morris suite, which is accessed from the beautiful courtyard. We had a very positive experience on our day. Our ceremony was beautiful and the registrars were so warm and funny, helping us out when we were nervous. Our guests also loved it. It seems like a place where people really love their job. We had a similar experience when picking up our wedding certificate. 10/10 would recommend!

Lambeth Council, you are an absolute disgrace. Please concentrate on core services, instead of grandiose projects and social justice warrior vacuous exercises. Footpaths are leaf strewn, road gutter drains are blocked, and road surfaces are poor. Yet you spend money on LTN cameras and street parklets. 3 months, my surrounding paths have been in this condition.

Definitely get married here in the Circular Hall. Photos here are from before it was set up with chairs for guests. The stained glass is beautiful and original to the 1908 building. The marble floor is even more eye-catching in person. All of the staff were lovely, from the events team, the venues staff, the receptionists and the registrars. This is an iconic venue in the heart of Brixton and I cannot recommend it enough as a venue.

I was a regular visitor to Lambeth Town Hall (2018-22) for their monthly Ballroom & Latin Tea Dances as the main hall has a lovely wooden floor. My first visit was in 2018 to celebrate the first mixed race Tea Dance over 50 years ago in this very venue when racial tension were high, but dance was a superb panacea. Spacious, with a stage for other productions.Ground floor ladies toilets are light airy and modern if compact, with mirrors and although only three cubicles works well enough given the small Edwardian spaces allowed for modern needs. Council staff are always friendly and many's the time they've joined us on the dance floor (don't tell their boss!) It's lovely to sit outside in their secluded courtyard where people often have lunch or just gather, it's a real suntrap. Brixton (Victoria Line) is the nearest tube station being about 3 minutes away.Turn left onto the main road as you exit the station, cross to your right at the traffic lights then the second pedestrian crossing to the left at that junction (like a zig zag) and you're facing the huge building. Walk right alongside the building as our event entrance is along that road to the farthest corner.

Completed I908 with additions in 1938 at busy traffic intersection and now forming part of the aggregate of Grade II Listed buildings adjacent to Windrush Square. A confident building: a statement of civic pride at the apogee of Empire with an overbearing, inelegant and disproportionate clock tower with exaggerated quoins still lords it over the locality.

We had our multicultural wedding & reception at Lambeth Town Hall in April 2023, and Lianne & the venues team were essential in making our day a success. We explored various locations, and wanted to find a dry hire venue so that we could bring in our own catering and host a fully vegan wedding. Lambeth Town Hall provided everything we needed and was an excellent fit with our values. Lianne was very helpful by sharing options, costs & information proactively to get things underway. We asked Lianne & team many questions over the months leading to the event, and she always responded with patience & understanding. When there were limitations, Lianne quickly provided workarounds and other recommendations to help. We thoroughly enjoyed the Wedding Fair, where we discovered some vendors who we brought on for the day. All payments had to be made over the phone and sometimes this was not available - but we got there in the end. It is also a listed building, therefore there are some restrictions. Our wedding day was amazing, and we owe a large part of it to Lambeth Town Hall and the incredible team there. Our guests loved the grand Council Chamber for the ceremony (different team, but our registrar was fantastic), the Courtyard for drinks, and beautiful, understated Assembly Hall/Foyer for dinner and evening reception (perfect floor for a full-on céilí!). We had a fairly big wedding of 140 day guests, with a total of 160 for the evening, and it was lovely to see Lianne the evening of our wedding! The facilities all worked well, and the Venues team, along with our on-the-day coordinator, ensured everything ran smoothly. We would happily (would love to!) have the day all over again in Lambeth Town Hall, which will always hold a special place in our heart.
