Charlton House illustrates a little-represented phase in the evolution of the English country house, linking the sprawling style of the Tudor age with the compact geometry associated with Inigo Jones. The original oak staircase remains, as do many fireplaces and plasterwork ceilings. Nestled in acres of beautiful parkland, Charlton House provides the perfect backdrop to your big day. Built during the reign of James I and one of the finest examples of Jacobean domestic architecture in the country, the mansion enjoys a fascinating history of intrigue and romance. Our beautiful wedding halls and reception areas are rich in period detail, featuring original fireplaces, wood panelling and intricate strapwork ceilings. You and your guests will treasure photographs taken in our lovingly-restored walled gardens and, on a warm summer’s afternoon, celebrating your special day with a glass of champagne in the soft tranquillity of the Peace Garden will be a moment to remember. Our list of caterers each offer a unique and tailored menu for your special day. From canapes, elegant three course meals and food from all over the world our caterers will help to make your day that little bit extra special.

Beautiful house and garden for a wedding

We had a lovely wedding ceremony at Charlton House. The long gallery and grand salon where we had our ceremony and drinks reception are beautiful, as is the outside of the house and garden (and luckily the sun came out for us!). Lots of great places for photos and for guests to mill around. The staff were really helpful and friendly in making our day run smoothly, and accommodating requests, visits etc. Really pleased we chose it :)

Wedding reception at Charlton House London SE7 8RE

We had a wonderful reception at Charlton House. We started the celebrating with drinks and canapés in the walled garden and a confetti shower followed by formal dining in the galleried library. We were so pleased with the professional catering and bar service provided by 'Relish' who were one of the venue's preferred caterers. In the evening the venue turned into a fabulous boogie wonderland! Our family and guests expressed how much they enjoyed being at such a beautiful historic building. We just knew we'd made the right choice booking it. The office staff particularly Larissa were helpful from initial contact, to the last dance of the night.

Lovely wedding venue with a walled garden

We got married in Charlton House in August 2022 and it was a great venue. The building is grand and steeped in history, and our guests loved the walled garden where we had drinks after the ceremony. Charlton House staff are friendly and accommodating, I thoroughly recommend this wedding venue!
