With a variety of decks offering intimate and atmospheric spaces, The Golden Hinde is a wonderfully unique and stunning waterfront venue to begin your journey of a lifetime - a historic Tudor ship and landmark in Central London by the iconic Tower Bridge, and with views of St Paul's Cathedral and the river Thames.

Ceremonies can take place in either of our licensed areas.

The first is the 'Great Cabin'. The wooden beams, leaded windows, and bespoke hand carved oak furnishings in period design create a perfect framing for the special couple to say their vows and sign the register. Up to 30 guests standing in the 'Armoury' can look upon the ceremony through the open design of our bulkhead. The area houses the top of the capstan which was turned to haul the anchor, and a collection of Tudor design chests which offer relief seating.

The second licensed area, the 'Hold', is the wooden belly of the ship below deck which traditionally would hold cargo. The area was recently tailored by shipwrights to comfortably open the space, provide seating, and a bar hidden at the back. This area has the capacity for up to 100 guests with 20 seated in the 'Gun Deck' above which houses 16th century cannons, and through lifted hatches looks down upon the wedding ceremony and opens up the scene.

The entire ship will be yours for the duration of your hire. Guests may explore and enjoy the experience with a flute of champagne in hand and the various spaces above and below deck offer many photo opportunities and chances to mingle.
