I rented this out for a special occasion and I could not be more happy with how it all went. Communication with the chapel was very easy as they were very responsive. I was also given a great tour of the space and when the day came, all my specifics about the day were met! Not to mention, the chapel itself is stunning. Thank you for accepting my booking request. The whole experience was magical. I recommend it!!!

A beautiful home, it really is as beautiful as in the pictures - and it looks great on camera! Plenty of light, but there was the flexibility for us to get the exact look we needed. The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and helpful, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. What else is there to say? 10/10

THE CHURCH WAS AMAZING, and Kate was excellent - She was there on the day to make sure we had everything we needed. I also had a family emergency, and Kate made sure to check in with me, which I did not accept but meant a lot to me. If I'm ever filming in a church again, I will be sure to contact Kate! THANK YOU!!

London Gothic Rental Locations for Your Event

London, UK, needs little to no introduction as a global fashion, culture, and business leader. The city is the heart of England and a getaway to Europe, making it the perfect backdrop for international events. For a tranquil retreat, visit the Peaceful Memorial Garden or Camden Market, where you can shop for unique treasures. You can also go on a guided tour of the Gothic revival architecture around town.

Go on a Gothic architecture tour to spot buildings from medieval times. Many Victorian funerary buildings celebrate life and death and feature the Gothic style. The Highgate Cemetery, a burial site built in 1839, the Old Operating Theatre, and St. Bartholomew's Hospital are more examples of the Gothic marvels around town.

If you are fascinated by such eerie but historic sites, visit the East Cemetery, where Karl Marx is interred, or the Cross Bones Graveyard, where the Winchester geese women who passed away in the local brothels were buried in unmarked graves. A walk down Swain's Lane reveals more unusual things, with street art telling tales of mystery and survival.

It's fair to say that London is a great place to explore Gothic revival architecture and also rent one of these spaces for an event or film shoot. View our 86 listings to find a Gothic location for your next project.

Why Choose Giggster for a Gothic Venue in London

London has many buildings with Gothic revival architecture and features like stained windows and tower-like designs. Most were built in the Middle Ages and have a historic charm that makes them unique event settings. Giggster can help you rent a palace, historic church, or museum for your upcoming event. Here are some of the options on our website.

  • Are you looking for a house with Gothic revival architecture as the setting for your murder mystery dinner or other event? A Victorian home is the perfect space for the occasion. Look for a location with floor-to-ceiling windows, curved stairs, and a vaulted ceiling.

  • Do you want to get married or host a religious ceremony, such as a baptism, in a sacred location within walking distance of the nearest tube? A castle or chateau-style church is the best setting for the occasion. Book a venue with a vaulted ceiling, wood doors, stained glass windows, and a fire escape.

  • An industrial location transformed into a theatre is an excellent setting for a Middle Ages-themed performance. Choose a venue with studio equipment and flexible opening times, especially if you are planning night shows.

  • A London school with brick walls and a tower-like design is the best example of a flexible Gothic-style filming location. Look for a venue that provides access to the entire space, including a top floor, dining hall/café, and library, even at an extra cost.

The Best Gothic Locations in London

Your wedding, festival, or themed film shoot deserves a standout backdrop, and London's Gothic locations do not disappoint. Giggster has a range of impressive venues, including our Fitzrovia Chapel, with Gothic revival architecture to explore.

  • Churches – Gothic Wedding Ceremonies. English baroque cathedrals heavily feature Gothic architecture, including flying buttresses, towers, and stained glass windows. Most retain their function as religious venues and are excellent settings for wedding ceremonies.

  • Castles – Wedding Receptions. Castles are dream wedding venues for most couples and can also host Gothic-themed nuptials. Most usually have an on-site garden with room for many guests, and the medieval building provides an eye-catching backdrop for photoshoots.

  • Victorian Homes – Private Events. A house built in the 1800s usually falls under the Victorian category, and many also have Gothic characteristics. You'll typically spot most with a tower head structure, vaulted ceilings, and a curved or spiral staircase. The venue can host private events and film shoots.

  • Museums – Creative Events. A museum is a nontraditional event setting that often houses an impressive collection of artefacts. Many museums have Gothic-styled cornices and pillars, among other features, which can add to the cinematic value of any screen production.

  • Theatres – Performances. Many London theatre buildings have Gothic-inspired characteristics, such as pointed arches and high ceilings. They can accommodate all performances, including plays, concerts, and stand-up comedy shows. Many also have a cafe on site.

Essentials for a Gothic Location in London

A Gothic hotel or house awaits your next London event or production. After signing off on the perfect space, dotting your Is and crossing your Ts can help you plan an epic gathering. These planning tips can help you organise your forthcoming function in one of these unique settings.

Does the venue meet your requirements? Search our website for a venue, starting on this page, and visit it; you can do this virtually to determine if it meets your requirements. Then, contact the property owner to discuss the opening times and ask for a custom rate. Booking the best space ensures your event will unfold as you imagine it.

Can the venue serve a themed menu? A decadent menu will complement the moody, Goth-inspired theme. Hire a caterer to create a custom menu, including dishes coloured plum and drinks coloured charcoal.

What activities does the venue support? Plan a grand celebration in a space with a live band or DJ who can play fun, mood-setting background music. A live band complements any occasion held in such an inspiring venue.

Pros and Cons of Gothic Events in London

London has a treasure trove of medieval-style buildings, which make excellent backdrops for events and films. Giggster can help you rent Gothic locations that suit your upcoming function. However, before choosing an 1800s-built building as your production or event backdrop, it's helpful to know the pros and cons of Gothic venues.

Advantages

  • The city has many buildings with Gothic architecture and a rich history that can enhance any event or production. Many are also centrally located and within walking distance of the nearest tube station.

  • London is a gateway to Europe and is reachable from most global locations. Six international airports bring visitors to the city, making it an excellent place to plan an international event.

  • London's food earned it the title of "foodie capital." When searching for an event caterer, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Disadvantages

  • Medieval locations are unique and sensitive venues that require high maintenance costs. Although the rental fee usually includes these charges, Giggster can help you rent an affordable event space anywhere in London.

  • Given London's constant rain, outdoor events or video shoots may be cancelled. However, most Gothic venues have indoor and outdoor locations accessible through full buyouts.

  • Some medieval locations have accessibility issues, so your best bet is to book one conveniently near the nearest tube station.

Hidden Costs of Events at Gothic Locations in London

London has selections of Gothic revival architecture that can enhance your event. Giggster can help you locate affordable and unique Gothic locations, which is one of the ways to plan a budget function. Here are other suggestions to help you plan an epic celebration without breaking the bank.

Can you plan a Sunday event?

Sunday is usually an off-peak day, especially for wedding venues. Most event spaces will have favourable rates on such days, but you can always ask the property manager before booking about their low-rate days and negotiate custom pricing.

Book one venue.

Host the ceremony and reception at the same location, alongside any other event activities. It will save you time and the money you would spend on two venues.

Use seasonal fruits and produce.

The event menu is usually one of the costliest items, so plan a menu with seasonal produce and fruits.
