The Elephant Hotel is a characterful boutique hotel with stylish interiors, intimate event spaces, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The blend of period charm and contemporary touches makes it a wonderful setting for wedding films that feel personal and full of life.
We love filming at The Elephant Hotel because that mix of period charm and contemporary detail gives us so much to work with visually.

It's the kind of place that feels personal on camera without us having to try too hard.
Getting to The Elephant Hotel
Tonbridge is your closest train station, roughly a 10 minute drive from The Elephant Hotel. Regular services run from London Bridge and Charing Cross, making it straightforward for guests travelling from the city. Gatwick Airport is your nearest major airport, around 30 minutes by road depending on traffic. It connects well to the national rail network if any guests are travelling from further afield. There is parking available on site, though spaces are limited so carpooling is worth considering if you can arrange it ahead of the day. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms get busy on weekends, so have a number saved before you arrive.
