The Octagon Room wedding photography and film

The Octagon Room is a beautifully unique intimate venue with architectural charm and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The distinctive shape, soft lighting, and refined detailing create a one-of-a-kind setting for wedding films that feel personal, elegant, and full of emotion.

We absolutely love filming at The Octagon Room. That distinctive eight-sided architecture does something really special to the light, wrapping it softly around your guests in a way that makes every shot feel considered and intimate. It's a small space with a big personality, and our cameras can't get enough of it.

Getting to The Octagon Room

The nearest train station is Greenwich (about a 10 minute walk), well connected from London Bridge and Cannon Street. If you're flying in, London City Airport is your closest option, roughly 20 minutes by car or a short DLR and rail combination. Parking near the venue is limited, so we'd strongly recommend leaving the car at home if you can. A few paid car parks sit within walking distance, but spaces fill quickly at weekends. For the evening, pre-book your taxi or Uber before the reception ends. Local cab firms can get stretched late on, so having a number saved ahead of time will save you standing in the cold.
