Near the ceremony
Marylebone
Quiet streets and good restaurants.
Welcome
We’re getting married, and the best part is sharing it with you. London has become home, and we’d love to show you a little of it: an evening on the river, our vows in Marylebone and a long dinner in Chiswick, the corner of the city we live in.
Everything you need is on this page. If anything is unclear, write to us. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Getting here and getting around
- i.
Entering the UK
US citizens need an Electronic Travel Authorisation before they fly. Apply on GOV.UK or in the UK ETA app, and allow a few days.
- ii.
From Heathrow
The Elizabeth line runs direct to central London. The Heathrow Express is fastest to Paddington, and the Piccadilly line is the cheapest.
- iii.
Around town
Tap a contactless card or phone on every Tube, bus and train, and daily fares are capped. Londoners plan journeys with Citymapper.
- iv.
Friday night
There’s no Night Tube on the District line. After the reception, take a night bus along Chiswick High Road, a black cab or an Uber.
- v.
Weather
Recent Junes have been warm, usually around 24°C (mid 70s °F) with hot spells near 30°C (80s °F). Bring a light layer for the evening on the river, and an umbrella just in case.
- vi.
Other tips
UK sockets take three square pins, so pack an adapter. Cards and phones work almost everywhere, so you’ll rarely need cash. Restaurants often add a 12.5% service charge, so check the bill before tipping. On Tube escalators, stand on the right. In an emergency, call 999.
