What are the best photo spots in Battersea Park?

Favourite locations include the Bandstand, Pump House Gallery, tree-lined Central Avenue, the Peace Pagoda and the lakeside paths for golden-hour portraits.

Do we need a permit for wedding photos in Battersea Park?

For simple portraits as part of a wedding day, a permit is not always required, but rules can change—especially for larger groups or commercial shoots. It’s best to confirm with the park team in advance.

Battersea Park Wedding Photography – A Beautifully Iconic London Day

Bride and groom stand under a gazebo as officiant speaks; guests seated outdoors on a sunny day surround them amidst green trees.

If you’re dreaming of a laid-back but stylish London wedding, Battersea Park offers the perfect mix of romance, greenery and iconic city charm. Set right in the heart of southwest London, it’s an incredibly photogenic spot for a relaxed outdoor ceremony — and the bandstand is one of its most recognisable features.

Bride and groom walk joyfully under falling pink petals, surrounded by applauding guests outside a brick building. Festive and vibrant mood.

🎶 Ceremony at the Bandstand

The couple held their ceremony under the iconic Battersea Park bandstand, surrounded by trees, sunshine and the gentle sounds of the park. It was simple, joyful, and beautifully intimate — a lovely way to celebrate a city wedding with nature all around.

🥂 Confetti & Champagne at the Pump House

After the ceremony, we walked over to the Pump House, where guests gathered for confetti and a relaxed champagne reception. The architecture and symmetry of the Pump House make it a lovely backdrop for candid moments and group photos — a little oasis in the park.

🌸 Portraits in the Rose Garden

After the drinks reception, we took a short stroll through the gardens for some romantic portraits in the Battersea Park Rose Garden — quiet, colourful, and full of charm. It’s a favourite spot of mine for natural, romantic images that feel completely timeless.

🚗 A Classic Car Exit via Albert Bridge

The couple had arranged for a classic wedding car to collect them directly from the Pump House — one of the rare places in London where you can actually drive through a royal park! We left in style and headed across the iconic Albert Bridge, a perfect London ending to a very elegant day.
