Searching for a rooftop wedding venue in central London that balances industrial heritage with a truly modern flair? Welcome to Smiths of Smithfield. Nestled in the heart of Farringdon, our Grade II listed building offers a spectacular backdrop for couples who want their big day to be as iconic as the London skyline.

Long before it became the four-floor gastronomic powerhouse it is today, Smiths of Smithfield served as a storage facility for the historic Smithfield meat market just across the road. We’ve lovingly preserved that character, with exposed brickwork and original features that tell a story of London’s vibrant past. For couples seeking a historic wedding venue in London, there is simply nowhere else like it.

Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our spaces are designed to impress your guests.

  • The Grill: Located on the second floor, this space is perfect for a traditional wedding breakfast. With its warm, inviting atmosphere, we can host up to 150 guests for a seated meal.

  • No.3 Rooftop: Our crown jewel. This light-filled space is ideal for your evening reception for up to 200 guests.

  • The Outdoor Terrace: Step outside for a glass of fizz and take in the panoramic views of St. Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard. It is the ultimate spot for those golden-hour photos that your guests will be talking about for years to come.
  • The First Floor: Want to keep the rooftop a surprise for the evening? Have your arrival drinks on the First Floor with space for up to 120 guests for canapes.

We know that for many of our couples, the menu is the main event. At Smiths of Smithfield, you are in safe hands. The Grill is an award-winning restaurant led by our renowned Head Chef, Tim Dela Cruz, who has earned 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence.

The perfect venue for our London wedding - everything we could have hoped for and so much more!

We hosted our wedding reception at Smiths of Smithfield in September. From the moment we booked our wedding, we had the amazing help of Mike and the team, who walked us through every step and were extremely flexible and considerate of our wishes.

Prior to the wedding, we spent time at Smiths having a complimentary tasting and an appointment with the sommelier, Christina, who adapted the wine selection to suit our preferences and was incredibly knowledgable. We always felt like we were in safe hands with the Smiths team and it has become one of our favourite London venues - not only because of our wedding, but also because it is a genuinely incredible restaurant and bar.

We had our wedding across two floors: the terrace and the grill. Both rooms are perfect for a wedding and the London skyline was an amazing setting. The food was incredible and many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten.

The venue staff and chefs on the day went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day. We were delayed by traffic in central and the team seamlessly moved the schedule by 1 hour.

In the evening, we hired WeRDJs (recommended by Smiths) who did a brilliant job. It genuinely was the most perfect day and we're so grateful to the Smiths team for everything. We also can't wait to come back to celebrate our anniversaries.

Thank you so much Mike, Stan, Christina and the wider team - you guys are the best!!

Wedding planner

I wanted to thank you for just being a great planner and always smiling and keeping it super relaxed for us. You have no idea how nice it was from the day we met you for you to always be so attentive, warm and friendly. You made the process very stress free for us.
Thank you for the gift; thank you for saving me when I realised that I had forgotten the card box; Thank you for everything. We definitely see each other soon.

The Best Day in My life at Smiths of Smithfield!

From start to finish the whole planning experience was so easy and we felt extremely confident in the team. No question was too much for them and very little explanation was needed for what we had in our vision. SMITHS just understood right away what we were after and got the job done. It was the best feeling turning up to our venue and seeing it all set up just like we imagined! – Many of our guests were from overseas and out of town, so lots of them were blown away with the central location and the fantastic panoramic view! You could see St Pauls lit up and also the Shard. The team at SMITHs did an incredible job coordinating individual meal orders all at once while being cooked to perfection. The amount of people that went out of their way to tell us how amazing their food was, was such a lovely and proud feeling! How easy it was to plan! We chose the wine and the food and that was all we needed to do really! As it is a restaurant, the venue speaks for itself already. There was no need to buy loads of decorations and flowers to fill empty spaces. We bought candles and candle vases to give it a romantic glow on each table and along the sides and all of the glass and the view reflected this and it looked incredible all lit up. Thank you so much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
