Chancery Court Hotel

As a London wedding photographer, I’m proud and delighted to be one of the preferred suppliers for the Chancery Court Hotel, and I always enjoy photographing weddings there. Chancery Court Hotel, in Holborn, London is situated in one of the capital city’s most historic locations and it has an equally fascinating past. High Holborn was originally a Roman road and after the Middle Ages the area became established as a centre for the legal profession and the city’s most influential and powerful people. This is where the writer Charles Dickens wrote “Oliver Twist” and “Great Expectations” and many scenes in his novels were set in this historic part of London.

The lavish interiors were fitted out with Cuban mahogany and seven types of marble, including extremely rare types such as Swedish Green and Statuary. One of the building’s most dramatic features, the Renaissance-style Grand Staircase is an architectural tour de force in marble. It ascends from either side of the entrance arch on High Holborn, forming a bridge on the first floor and rising through all the floors under an elliptical dome. Looking upwards, the arcades of Pavonazzo marble frame a view of the cupola that rises to 50.6 metres (166 feet), the maximum permitted height at the time of construction.

Deborah and Daniel’s wedding was photographed there, and you can more images from their wedding here and here.
