Description

Built between 1865 and 1895, the home of Frederic, Lord Leighton, served as both his personal studio and home. Recently licensed for ceremonies, Leighton House in Kensington, now offers an exclusive and intimate venue for your wedding. Entirely yours for the evening, hold your ceremony in the artist's studio, with grand north facing windows and surrounded by Frederic Leighton’s beautiful artworks. Then progress downstairs into the iconic Narcissus and Arab Halls, a stunning backdrop for photography, where drinks and canapés will be served. From the vibrant Dining Room and elegant Silk Room, guests are free to explore and enjoy the historic rooms throughout the evening, including flowing out into the landscaped garden, offering a tranquil oasis for a London wedding.
