For couples who want their wedding to feel like the event of the season, Knotel’s Old Sessions House in Clerkenwell offers a venue that’s as effortlessly cool as it is steeped in history. Housed in a restored 18th-century courthouse, this design-led London icon has been reimagined as a bold and beautiful backdrop for weddings that break from the ordinary.
The building spans over 18,000 square feet and features 23 unique spaces – from airy dining rooms and hidden rooftop terraces to statement ballrooms with soaring ceilings and crystal chandeliers. Each room has its own distinct personality, blending rejuvenated historical architecture with modern finishes that make the whole space feel luxurious but never stuffy. Think original sash windows, sky lights, and sweeping views over Clerkenwell Green.
Whether you're planning a stylish city elopement, an intimate dinner for 36, or a full-on bash with 400 of your nearest and dearest, there’s a space (or combination of spaces) to suit your day. The Great Room is perfect for grand ceremonies and receptions, with space for 120 seated and 160 standing under its dramatic chandelier. Prefer something more low-key? The Dining Room and Chairman’s Room are ideal for refined dinners and candlelit feasts. And for those all-important golden hour moments, the Rooftop Pool Terrace adds a touch of unexpected glamour.
Old Sessions House doesn’t just look the part – it’s also backed by a professional events team who can help you bring the whole day together. From entertainment and food to décor and drinks, they’re well-versed in transforming the space for stylish celebrations and have hosted everything from brand launches to fashion shows. With a blend of heritage, scale, and cool, contemporary style, this is a wedding venue for couples who want to do things their way. A place to make memories, throw great parties, and start married life somewhere truly unique.
