Museum of London Docklands

Located over five floors within a late Georgian Warehouse, the Museum of London Docklands is Canary Wharf’s only Grade I listed building. Weddings held at the museum are set to the backdrop of London’s River Thames, with panoramic views over West India Quay and the iconic skyline of the capital’s financial district.

The Museum of London Docklands is a stunning venue where contemporary decor seamlessly complements historic charm. The museum traces the 2,000-year history of London’s river, port and people and offers a selection of beautiful settings for weddings. From exposed brickwork and Caribbean pine columns to inspiring galleries, blank canvas spaces and a terrace, couples are guaranteed to find the perfect location to create the wedding of their dreams.

The museum can accommodate weddings all of sizes, from intimate occasions to larger celebrations that require multiple rooms. For larger weddings, the entire ground floor of the museum can be hired exclusively for up to 900 guests.

Event Spaces

The impressive Wilberforce Room, which is located on the third floor, is full of character and has all the unique charm of a 19^th century warehouse including exposed brick walls. This space leads directly to the museum’s galleries so guests can enjoy access throughout the day. Ideal for both daytime and evening weddings, the Wilberforce Room can accommodate up to 240 guests for a ceremony, wedding breakfast or reception.

The newly launched Riverside Room at the Museum of London Docklands features original Caribbean pine columns and floors and benefits from its own entrance and private terrace, with capacity for receptions for 300 or dinners for 120. Alternatively, weddings for up to 200 guests can be hosted in the Muscovado Hall, with its elegant and original features including exposed columns and oakwood floors.

The Quayside Room, with its brick walls and beautiful views of West India Quay, and the No. 1 Warehouse, which offers a rare insight into what was once the world’s largest dock complex complete with incredible artefacts that bring the history of the building to life, are the ideal locations for smaller wedding celebrations. And for couples looking for something to really wow their guests, drinks receptions can be hosted in Sailortown, a full-size reconstruction of a Victorian Street. Guests can take an atmospheric stroll through the mysterious and evocative alleyways, winding through its narrow streets and peering through the windows of the wild animal emporium, curiosity shop, ship chandlers and more!

The Museum of London Docklands is situated on West India Quay, with excellent transport links and a large car park next to the venue.
