Addington Palace wedding photography and film
Addington Palace is a magnificent Georgian mansion in Croydon, once the home of the Archbishops of Canterbury. With its grand reception rooms, sweeping lawns, and rich history, it provides a regal setting for wedding films that feel truly special.
We've filmed at Addington Palace more than once, and those grand Georgian reception rooms never stop impressing us on camera. There's something about the scale of the place, its sweeping lawns and centuries of Archbishop history baked into the walls, that gives wedding films a real sense of occasion. It's the kind of venue that does a lot of the work for you.
Getting to Addington Palace
The nearest train station is East Croydon, about 2 miles from Addington Palace. From there, tram line 3 runs directly to Gravel Hill stop, which is a short walk to the venue. The journey from London Bridge takes roughly 25 minutes. If you're flying in, Gatwick Airport is your best bet, around 20 minutes by train to East Croydon. Heathrow is doable but expect a longer journey of around an hour. There is on-site parking available at Addington Palace, which is handy if you're driving from outside London. For the evening, book your taxi or Uber in advance. Rural-ish venues like this get busy at home time, so don't leave it to chance.
