Where old London meets new beginnings...
The Old Timber Store is a historic railway arch in Bermondsey's best-kept secret: Maltby Street Market. The cobbles of the ropewalk are host to weekly street food fusions from all over this wonderful world. Still, this dedicated arch for wedding ceremonies and private events is like stepping into 19th-century London, a true hidden gem.
Get whisked away from the bustle of the big smoke and experience old London meeting new beginnings, in this exposed, antiquated space.
The venue itself has been on a bit of a journey. The story of The Old Timber Store began back in the 1800s when horse and carriage would trot through the railway arches, a construction wonder of the world at the time. Since the 1990s, the magnificent brick viaducts have hosted LASSCO's flooring yard. A sensitive renovation to keep the essence of the space alive has now transformed the arch into a unique space to host intimate wedding ceremonies.
The Old Timber Store can now be hired exclusively for ceremonies.

Incredible day - beyond expectation
We could not have asked for better people to have made us feel more comfortable and assured that our wedding would be perfect - and it absolutely was! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone at The Old Timber Store who helped make our day so perfect!
Wonderful venue and team!
The venue was really flexible, open, collaborative and fun to work with - they made what could have been difficult conversations very easy, were very straightforward, and were very committed to us having the experience we wanted to have.
The venue is beautiful - lots of our guests commented on the fun, unique set-up in the market, the quality of food and drink, and the wonderful atmosphere.
The team were really generous with us, gave us lots of their time, and we had a great, stress-free, fun process and a wonderful day. We couldn't recommend them enough.
