Blending historic charm with modern comfort, the Holiday Inn London Bexley offers a versatile and welcoming setting for your special day. Once known as The Black Prince, this Tudorbethan-style venue has been at the heart of local celebrations since the 1930s, even hosting musical legends like The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton in its heyday. Today, the hotel continues that legacy by providing couples with a stylish and adaptable backdrop for unforgettable weddings.
The hotel’s dedicated wedding spaces, known collectively as The Academy, are licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships. The jewel in the crown is the Black Prince Suite, the largest space on site, perfect for both your ceremony and evening reception. With capacity for up to 80 seated guests and 140 standing, it’s a blank canvas ready to be transformed to suit your vision. For a lighter, more intimate feel, the Edwards Suite is filled with natural daylight and offers direct garden views – an ideal setting for a wedding breakfast of up to 60 guests or a reception of 100. Both rooms lead to the breakout area, where guests can enjoy arrival drinks and canapés before spilling out into landscaped gardens and patio spaces for photographs.
Every wedding at Holiday Inn Bexley is supported by a dedicated wedding coordinator who works with you from your first visit through to the last dance. Flexible packages make planning straightforward while leaving plenty of scope to personalise your day. Options include red-carpet aisle entrances, two- or three-course wedding breakfasts crafted with seasonal produce, evening buffets, and even decorative extras such as flower walls, LED backdrops, and chair sashes. A private staffed function bar ensures your guests are well looked after throughout.
With 107 comfortable bedrooms, including a complimentary suite for the newlyweds and preferential rates for guests, you can extend the celebration into the next morning. Add in excellent transport links – just a short walk to Bexley Village and easy access to London via train or the Elizabeth Line, and you have a venue that combines convenience, character, and care in equal measure.
