Things to Do
We are looking forward to seeing you all and know that some of you will be hoping to spend a few days in London either side of our special day - we are SO happy you have chosen to make the long journey and have left a few options here of interesting tourist activities specifically in West London. If you're looking for general London tourist spots we defer to the Lonely Planet guide which will be much more accurate and thorough.
WWT London Wetland Centre
Especially great for the little ones, the Wetland Centre is moments from Barnes Green where you can find lovely cafes and shops.
Fulham Football Club
You can take tours of Craven Cottage, billed as 'London's original football Club' - it's been recently renovated and we have (oh so cleverly) chosen our wedding day to be an away match day which means tours should be running. Check their website for availability.
Chelsea Football Club
Even more cleverly we are also being married on an away match day for Chelsea - in the hope that traffic will be low and Katia makes it to the Church on time! That means tours will also be running for Chelsea and you can check the website for availability.
Chiswick House and Gardens Trust
A beautiful place to explore with the old house and the grounds open to the public. Do check before setting off as they occasionally have to close the grounds in high winds due to the old trees. It's a little further afield but worth the trip!
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Again a little further away but if you choose to stay over in West London it would be a real shame to miss the world-renowned Kew! It's probably in the Lonely Planet guide anyway but we thought we'd add it in as we love it here.
The River Café
The famous River Cafe Restaurant needs no introduction - if you're looking for a wonderful place to have dinner on Friday do call ahead and book, they get full very quickly.
If you miss out on a table try Sam's Riverside which isn't far up river.
