About Tower of London
The Tower of London sits within the stone walls of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in central London. Couples who choose to hire the Tower for a wedding or celebration work with Historic Royal Palaces to book its range of historic event spaces across the complex, each shaped by centuries of royal history and architecture.
At the Tower, daytime and evening venue hire options are available for receptions and dinners within and around this castle-fortress. The site’s ancient buildings and defensive walls form the backdrop for events, and its approved event suppliers support planning and delivery. It is possible to begin an event with a guided viewing of the Crown Jewels either before or after public opening hours, with private tours arranged as part of an evening celebration if requested. Reception spaces include several of the Tower’s historic interiors and outdoor areas, all accessed via enquiry through the events team rather than direct online booking. For larger scale events and functions that involve multiple spaces or late evening gatherings, the venue team can discuss specific requirements. Historic details such as battlements overlooking the River Thames and the architectural character of medieval and later buildings are part of how the venue presents its spaces for hire. Photography taken during a Tower hire is exclusive to couples and their guests.
