London, United Kingdom
This rustic and industrial East London warehouse space holds a ton of history and oozes character and natural charm, making it a top spot for an ultimate wedding celebration. Because the unit was heavily bombed during the war, the space has been occupied by a multitude of trades but as of recently, the space has been employed by car mechanics. Made up of “natural” textured walls as a result of the attack, outdoor lighting, and industrial props throughout, this spectacular property provides you with all that you need to put your best party foot forward.
