Our closest bus stop is Tavistock Square. Bus routes: 59, 68, 91, 168 and N91.

Photographs, video and audio recordings can be done throughout the ceremony, as long as they are not disruptive. You are welcome to use Tavistock Park across the road for additional photos.

Our Ceremonies team take great pleasure in seeing the results of their assistance to our couples, so please do share your wedding pictures with us. 

Print off, sign and return our Photo Consent Form PDF to [email protected] to give us permission to use them on our website, to show other couples what a ceremony in Camden looks like. 

On your arrival a registrar will invite both of you for a private interview to check the information you gave at notice.

Make sure you check your details on the day very carefully. Once you have signed, any errors are expensive and time consuming to correct. 

During the ceremony, you will sign a document known as a schedule. After the ceremony, the details from the schedule will be uploaded to the electronic register, and a certificate will be posted to your home address within 14 working days.

Additional certificates cost £11, and can be purchased by placing an order online.

With such a central location, you are never far from an iconic London landmark or attraction, whether the brutalist marvel of the Brunswick Centre, the historians paradise of the British Museum or even Tavistock House’s very own statue of Ghandi.

And if you fancy an evening meal, or if you tie the knot early, a post-wedding brunch, Marchmont Street just five minutes’ walk away is a hidden gem, stocked with bistros, vegan cafés and boutique burger joints. You can even escape to Paris and other European destinations as soon as your ceremony is complete from nearby St Pancras International Station.
