so you're having a Prince Albert wedding! Here's the low down on everything you need to know
Why Choose The Prince Albert for your Wedding
If you’re dreaming of a London pub wedding that feels cosy, characterful and full of atmosphere, The Prince Albert is a brilliant choice. This award-winning Victorian tavern in Camden has all the charm you’d hope for, with two floors, two bars and a beer garden, giving you plenty of space to shape the day your way, whether that’s ceremony, reception or both.
Inside, it’s all dark wooden floors, big sash windows and rich green tiles, with loads of natural light pouring into the first-floor room during the day. It works beautifully for a relaxed wedding breakfast, and as the evening rolls in, the lighting softens and the space takes on a more intimate feel, while the party kicks off downstairs in the main pub. From a Prince Albert wedding photographer point of view, it’s the kind of venue that feels lived-in and real, perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel like a great London gathering rather than a formal event.
The Prince Albert can be hired exclusively if you want the whole place to yourselves, or you can keep things a bit more low-key and hire just the first-floor function room. It’s a flexible setup that works brilliantly whether you’re planning a full-on party or something more intimate.
Capacities
Ground floor: up to 110 standing | 50 seated
First floor: up to 105 standing | 70 seated
Garden: up to 50 standing | 25 seated
The venue is licensed for weddings, which means you can hold your ceremony here, but you’ll need to arrange your own registrar. From a Prince Albert wedding photographer point of view, it’s a great option if you want a London pub wedding that feels relaxed, sociable and full of character, with different spaces for different parts of the day.
Spots for Couple Portraits Around The Prince Albert
★ Camden Lock Market
Busy, colourful and full of character. Think street food stalls, signage, textures and proper Camden energy. Great if you want photos that feel lively and very London.
★ Regent’s Canal
Just moments away and a total contrast to the busy high street. Calm water, narrowboats, towpaths and soft light. Perfect for some quieter, more intimate frames.
★ Camden backstreets
Brick walls, shutters, alleyways and a bit of grit. Ideal for relaxed, unposed shots that don’t feel staged or stiff.
★ Street art spots
Camden is packed with murals and graffiti that change all the time. We’ll keep our eyes open and grab a few fun, colourful moments as we go along the way.
★ Primrose Hill (if you fancy stretching your legs)
A short walk if you’re up for it, but worth it for the views. Greenery, skyline and a breather from the crowd.
★ Outside the pub itself
Don’t skip this. The Prince Albert frontage is perfect for a few just-married shots before heading off or back inside for a drink.
Top Tips for your Prince Albert Wedding
★ Bring your own playlist and plug straight into the sound system. Planning a DJ or band? Check in with the team first to chat through licences and any extra costs.
★ The function room is up one flight of stairs, so it’s worth keeping this in mind for your guests.
★ For larger guest lists, food will need to be pre-ordered. Once your date’s booked, you’ll be sent all the menus and details.
★ Make use of the big-screen TV. It’s perfect for adding something fun and unexpected during the speeches, whether that’s photos, videos or a few inside jokes
★ You’re welcome to bring your own cake (always encouraged). Just let the team know in advance so it can be stored safely and allergens are covered.
★ Plan a proper exit. Confetti outside the pub, a group photo on the street, or heading off together to the next spot all suit Camden perfectly.
★ Lean into the pub energy. This is one of those venues where things feel best when they’re relaxed and social, more great Camden pub takeover than formal wedding day.
