Best Places for Wedding Photos Near Old Marylebone Town Hall

Old Marylebone Town Hall is one of London’s most iconic registry venues. The ceremony rooms are beautiful, the confetti moment on the steps is unbeatable - but what about portraits afterwards?

If you’re getting married at Marylebone and wondering where to take wedding photos nearby, here are some of the best options within walking distance.

1. The Famous Front Steps

Let’s start with the obvious.

The steps outside Old Marylebone Town Hall are legendary. They’re where the cheers happen, the hugs land, and the confetti fills the air.

They’re perfect for:

• Confetti shots
• Group photos
• Classic “just married” portraits

Because ceremonies run back-to-back, timing matters. I usually guide guests into position quickly so you get the moment without blocking the entrance for the next wedding.

2. Marylebone High Street

Just a short walk away, Marylebone High Street offers a completely different feel.

It’s relaxed, elegant and full of classic London architecture. Early afternoon light works particularly well here, especially for natural, documentary-style couple portraits.

If you don’t want all your photos on the steps, this is an ideal alternative.

3. Quiet Side Streets Around the Town Hall

One of the best-kept secrets is simply turning a corner.

The surrounding streets near Marylebone are full of:

• Georgian facades

• Subtle doorways

• Neutral backgrounds

• Soft, flattering light

For couples who prefer something more understated, these spots create relaxed portraits without attracting too much attention.

4. Regent’s Park (If Time Allows)

If you have a little more time after your ceremony, Regent’s Park is a short drive or longer walk away.

It’s ideal for:

• Seasonal greenery

• Autumn colour

• Spring blossoms

• Open space away from crowds

Not every Marylebone wedding schedule allows for this, but when it does, it adds variety.

How Long Should You Allow for Photos?

Most ceremonies at Old Marylebone Town Hall are relatively short. If you want:

• Confetti

• A few group photos

• Couple portraits nearby

Allow at least 20–30 minutes after the ceremony.

If you’d like to explore nearby streets more fully, 45–60 minutes gives you breathing room.

Because I regularly work as an Old Marylebone Town Hall wedding photographer, I know how to keep portraits relaxed and efficient without turning your wedding into a photoshoot.
