FAQ
How late can we have our party?

How do we arrange the wedding ceremony?
Our local authority is the City of Westminster. You do not have to be a resident of the borough to hold your ceremony with us as we are an 'approved premises' with the Registrar. The latest time for the ceremony is usually 5.00pm but you should check available times with the Registrar. You can call them on +44 (0)20 7641 6840 or visit their website for further details of how to make arrangements.
Can we have a menu tasting?
We know that it is extremely important for you to choose the right menu for your celebrations. So we offer a complimentary menu tasting for events of over 50 guests. This tasting gives you the opportunity to taste the menu you have selected for your wedding, or it may help you decide. The tasting will normally take place 4-6 weeks before your wedding and during working hours – usually dictated by business levels here at the RSA.
How will my guests arrive and where is the nearest car park?
We are a 2-5 minute walk from Charing Cross mainline, Tube and Embankment underground stations respectively and are located just off the Strand. We recommend that you and your guests pre-book taxis or other forms of transport for your departure to avoid long waiting times at the end of your wedding day.
The Adelphi Car Park is the nearest, situated across the road and underneath the building. If you would like directions of how to get there, please let us know and we can send you a copy.
