The college is a very traditional wedding venue with its stunning pillars outside, wood panelled walls and fantastic service, however it also is a very unique venue full of history and character which I know is important to brides and grooms. Guests can have a look around the Hunterian museum during their drinks reception should they wish, or have photographs in the surgeons library or next to John Hunter\u2019s statue. We are also so close to central London, however being situated in the leafy surroundings of Lincoln\u2019s inn fields, we feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. There are so many unique factors to our traditional venue which really creates that WOW factor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s not everyday we get the chance to see a wedding showcase as beautiful as this.
