The Perfect Place

When looking for a wedding venue, my husband & I knew we wanted a casual pub atmosphere, but with a little more of a beautiful wedding feel. It's hard to find the perfect balance, but The Depot did just that. The venue itself is full of character & London history (being an old bus depot), with unique and wonderful decor and a stunning bar that used to be part of a prominent race course. The high ceilings, open floor plan & multi-level space ensures that everyone can mingle together, yet still have space to spread out. And the outside area has an astounding courtyard feel, with lots of greenery, great soft lighting, and being sheltered from the world (& wind!) outside, you feel like it's all yours.
From the very start, Shannon & her team were responsive, professional, helpful, and very down to earth. They answered every question (and I had *A LOT*), they offered help in every area, they worked with us, were patient, understanding, and above all else were incredible on the day. Literally everyone at The Depot (from bar staff to kitchen staff to security) got praise from our guests, and their experience & professionalism when it comes to weddings shone in every aspect of our day. The decor was set up perfectly, the food was amazing & presented beautifully, the drinks were fast & cocktails were flawless, the music queues were right on time, and they're assistance with our other vendors was nothing short of awesome. We cannot recommend Shannon & her team enough. Thanks a million for making our day quite literally everything we hoped & dreamed it would be :)

The BEST London wedding venue

We wanted a relaxed wedding venue for our big day that was perfect for a party and The Depot was exactly that and more. Shannon, Imogen and Magda were so helpful throughout the process and answered all my many, many questions very patiently. On the day, they created the perfect atmosphere. The whole day ran so smoothly, which our guests actually really noticed and commented on, and also how well organised it was. All the little extras happened exactly when and how we wanted them (paticularly the espresso martini organisation). Plus it was one HELL of a party! We honestly had the best day ever and we are very very grateful.

The perfect London wedding venue!

We had our wedding here on 16/11/24, and wow!! We are still stunned and smiling ear to ear about how perfect this venue was. Shannon and Imogen and the whole team were perfect! So friendly, helpful and quite literally did everything, from setting up our decor to checking how everything was throughout to make sure everything was perfect. The food was incredible, the decor was beautiful, and the vibe was impeccable. We’re still getting compliments about how perfect the venue was. I couldn’t recommend here more.

Thank you to everyone. We will be back soon for a meal just so we can remember it all over again ❤️

Incredible!

I cannot recommend Shannon and her team at the Depot enough. They made the planning process so easy and answered the many questions I had quickly in the run up to the day. You can tell the Depot team have so much experience with running weddings and I never felt for a moment that I was worried about anything going wrong. The actual day itself was purely magical. Our guests have made so many comments about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the meal was and how friendly the staff were. Our after dinner espresso martinis and baby guinness shots went down very well! If you are looking for a venue, book the Depot - you won't regret it!

Perfect London Wedding Venue

We are still on cloud 9 after our wedding day and couldn't have been happier with our choice to host our reception at The Depot. From the moment we booked the venue to the food tasting, all our email exchanges and the lead up to the big day – Shannon, Imogen and the team were exceptional. The Depot really was the perfect choice for our London wedding and the day itself flowed so effortlessly. So many guests have said what a wonderful venue it was and lots of compliments on the food, wine, and of course the brilliant staff. Everyone made the day run like clockwork – even the night before staying late to help with the flowers for the tables. We truly are so grateful to everyone at The Depot. If you are planning a London wedding, with chilled vibes, great food and a big party - you couldn't find a better venue.

Amazing wedding venue!

The depot was a perfect place to get married. The food was fantastic, all of the staff were amazing, and we had a magical day. You might think that you want to get married in a pub, but what you *really* want is to get married in a pub that does an awful lot of weddings - it makes all the difference!

Absolutely brilliant experience

Shannon was fantastic when we were arranging our wedding, we felt comfortable that the venue was able to arrange everything we wanted. In addition, the food was the best we have ever had at a wedding, to this day (over a year later) guests still comment on the quality of the food.

This is a top venue and is very versatile and I cannot recommend it enough.

Everything ran to plan!

We chose The Depot as our wedding venue and had an amazing day. The package they offer for weddings was good value for us - minimum spend rather than a separate hire fee.

The communication from booking to the day itself was easy and responsive. So many of our guests commented on how great the food was and loved the ambience of the venue.

Would 100% recommend for couples looking for a fun, not too formal, party wedding.

The Depot gave us the best day of our lives!

We had our wedding reception at The Depot in April 2023. It was truly the best day ever and The Depot had a huge part to play in that. From the day we booked them to the post-wedding clear-up we had a wonderful experience with the venue team.

The staff really know their stuff and make sure that everything runs super smoothly and to your exact requests. They decorated exactly how we’d asked so the space looked stunning. Nothing was too much for them. They were really accommodating to all of our suppliers - and they answered any questions quickly.

The venue itself is the perfect place for a relaxed London wedding. We found it to be the largest of the pubs we could find as we wanted 120 guests for dinner. The food quality is also really impressive, and the drinks and cocktail choices are endless. It was also a lot more affordable than other options we looked at.

I genuinely don’t have a bad word to say. I’d recommend to anyone!

'Best wedding I've ever been to' according to many of our guests

Our wedding day at The Depot was nothing short of incredible – we’ve been blown away by the sheer number of guests that said it was the best wedding they've ever attended. In my mum’s word, ‘it didn’t even feel like a wedding’ – it just felt like the best party you’d ever been to in your life.’

A particular shout out for the exquisite food. The quality, presentation, and taste were exceptional, and they accommodated dietary preferences with ease – I’m coeliac, and I can safely say the gluten free fried chicken canape went down an absolute STORM.

The venue itself is fantastic, and looks extra beautiful when dressed. The Depot's rustic charm mixed with modern elegance provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff at The Depot did a phenomenal job decorating the venue, and it looked genuinely stunning lit up with fairylights and candles. Having a bit of outdoor space was also fab, particularly as the sun shone on the day. We had about 76 guests in total, which is a fantastic amount for the size – sometimes you go to wedding where it feels like there’s too much space for the amount of guests, but because of the layout of the Depot, this felt really comfortable. Dancefloor right nex tto the bar is incredible as it keeps people dancing.

A huge shoutout to the staff. The attentive and professional staff at The Depot ensured everything ran smoothly. The atmosphere was electric – thank you so much to Shannon, Georgie, and the whole team. I know a lot of couples can get stressed out by set up details on the morning of – we simply dropped off all of our decor with a set of clear instructions, and they did EVERYTHING to the letter, which was great.

We can't recommend The Depot enough to anyone looking to get married in London. If you want a day that will be remembered as the best by your guests and cherished by you, look no further than The Depot.

Perfect venue for us

We had our wedding at the Depot on 21st Jan.
We had to cancel a year earlier due to a family illness and they were very accommodating and helpful.
It's a lovely rustic venue and in January it looked like a magical wonderland with all the fairylights.
The team were amazing and made our day very special.
It's not licensed, but we had a beautiful service there having done the legal bit at the registry on a previous day.
We also had a late license and made the most of it!
Wonderful place, very good food, very flexible and great staff.
Would highly recommend.

September 2024 wedding

We had our wedding at The Depot in September and it truly was the most magical day - I can’t recommend Shannon and her team enough. From the very first viewing we had at the venue, the countless questions they answered throughout the process, the wonderful tasting evening, down to the day itself - it’s a flawless operation and the whole team is lovely. They leave absolutely no question unanswered, and were so helpful in working through last minute menu/guest changes. And the FOOD!! Two months later and our guests are still talking about it, it was all phenomenal and in particular the quality of the vegan options was fantastic. The biggest thank you to the whole team for making our day unforgettable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a London wedding venue, this is it!

We love the Depot!

The Depot is an amazing wedding venue! We loved our wedding from start to finish. The feel of the room was what sold it for me, it always felt relaxed and more like a pub rather than a big empty room. Shannon and her team worked so hard in the run-up and on the day and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious, we loved the mixture of table sizes it felt less traditional which is what we wanted. I loved the fact that the Depot doesn't need decorating, the fairy lights make the room and we just added some flowers. Finally what we were so happy with is that the space is great for a party. The dancefloor, bar area and courtyard are all connected so well that it never felt disjointed. Thank you Shannon and everyone at the Depot, we had the best day! Amy&Bobby
