Weddings at
Asylum Chapel

Make your special day unforgettable in a setting full of rustic romance and historical gravitas.

Our unique Grade-II listed chapel has stood the test of time – two centuries, to be exact – which is a good omen for the marriages that take place here. Antique chapel seating, floral decoration and romantic lighting contrast with the tall Georgian ceilings and aged grandeur to create a truly intimate setting.

Stained glass windows and crumbling stonework by candlelight: we’ll help you channel the building’s magic. If you’re looking for a distressed space with an enchanting atmosphere for your wedding day, welcome to Asylum Chapel.

Both are unusual wedding venues and their uses can be combined to create your perfect day: why not opt for a joint package of using Asylum Chapel for your ceremony, signing, seated drinks and canapés, and then head just eight minutes on foot to AMP Studios for your reception under two railway arches?

A wedding to go down in history

Once forgotten, the chapel is dilapidated and characterfully distressed: it’s a humble facade for a building that survived a WWII bomb and 200 years of history. Now life is breathed back into the space by vibrant couples who choose Asylum Chapel as their wedding venue – their special day a concrete part of the building’s story.

Reviews

“We had the most brilliant day which we’ll remember forever. Everything went exactly how we wanted it to, if not better, and we felt like we were in very capable hands. We had so many comments from guests about what a brilliant venue it is, of course we already knew that but it was nice to see that through the eyes of people who’d never seen it before.”

Anne and Josh

“Doug and I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your help with our ceremony. It was everything we had been dreaming about for 2 years and we're so thankful. You were fantastic to chat to on the phone - you made us feel so assured and so excited at the same time.”

Becky & Doug

“A very, very BIG THANK YOU to you and all the staff at Peckham Asylum Chapel. My 92 year old mother described the chapel and service as enchanting. I can’t think of a better word to describe your venue. It was very, very special and more, the guests were over awed and their reaction to the chapel lent an air of wonder and magic”

Fiona

“I have lived in SE London for years and never new this beautiful place existed. It's a stunning wedding venue absolutely loved it. Even if it was a bit chilly in December. I love the texture of the walls it feels like you are stepping into somewhere magical.”

Bim Bubitt

“We got married here 2 weeks ago and couldn’t have had a more perfect day!! The venue is beautiful and allows you to add your own personal touch. The ceremony was lovely and we had some photos inside and out afterwards. Perfect!”

Ellen Burrage

“As an alternative London wedding photographer, I am always on the lookout for unique, quirky and full of character places to recommend to my couples. The Asylum Chapel is atmospheric and romantic, a real beauty with a core historical past, so full of charm. Distressed space with a bold personality, definitely any photographer's dream location.”

Paola De Paola

“Filming at the Asylum Chapel - even during the misery of the virus lockdown - was a pleasure, and made much easier by the film-friendly staff looking after us. A wonderful location.”

Jamie Lindsay, Location Manager

“For a wedding it is the most magical place. And for a photoshoot simply stunning. The team at Maverick Projects are so helpful and I was so grateful for their friendly manner. I totally  love this location and the staff.  I simply cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a magical place.”
