Information For St Bride Foundation
Situated in the heart of the City of London, St Bride Foundation is home to a collection of stunning spaces to host your big day. From ceremonies to receptions, our dedicated team are on hand to help!
Est. in 1891, the St Bride Foundation is a stunning Grade II listed red brick building in the heart of London. Tucked away on a courtyard just off Fleet Street, this unique building is nestled under a plane tree and Wren’s famous ‘wedding cake’ spire of St Bride’s Church.
The building exudes historical intrigue. Originally built as a printing school, the London College of Printing (now LCC) was established here. The Foundation was also a resource for local residents, the city’s first public swimming baths and laundry opened here.
All of our rooms on the ground floor are licensed for civil marriages and partnerships. The elegant and palatial Bridewell Hall seats up to 150 and is suitable for ceremonies, wedding breakfasts and after parties. The ornate Salisbury room is a beautiful setting for intimate ceremonies of up to 45 people or the light and stylish Farringdon room is a lovely space for 60 guests.
We are home to a historic and unique collection of printing presses, which can be used to create bespoke wedding favours and much more!
St Bride Foundation retains many of its original features, including the baths, laundry, printing rooms and library. As part of the Foundation’s original mission to provide for the community, many of the building’s unique and characterful spaces are available to hire.

Top Wedding Tips
Book in advance! Many venues book up very far in advance. Narrow down a short list and make visits as soon as possible.
Decide what is most important to you and you finance. Plan your budget accordingly so you don't blow too much of it on a low-priority item.
A guestbook is always nice to have so you can look back on the special people who were a part of your big day!
