About Venue

Le Gothique on Wandsworth Common was London’s first genuine gastropub when it opened in 1987. The restaurant, bar and gardens are located within the glorious Royal Victoria Patriotic Building.

The much over used term “Hidden Gem” really is appropriate. The “secret garden” situated internally within the building is most certainly London’s best al freco dining experience.

The glorious Grade II* listed Royal Victoria Patriotic Building is home to London’s most unusual bar and restaurant. The gothic bar, secret cloistered garden and restaurant sit within this magnificent former orphanage and war time home to M.I.5 & M.I.6

That rare option of free off-street parking completes a very impressive package for both private and corporate clients. Held within the same family ownership for the past 25 years a strong and regular clientele have kept this most secret of venues close to their chest.

Whether you are looking for a romantic table for two, planning a birthday celebration, a memorable and affordable location for your wedding or just fancy a pint….. this is THE place to seek out and find.

All of our offers are for Exclusive Hire of the venue, only, and there is no hire fee applied, simply a price per guest fee and anything extra you spend on food and drink.

Le Gothique is part of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building. I’d love to share my experience photographing a wedding at Le Gothique in South London, a beautiful and unique venue full of character and history. It’s set within the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building, one of London’s hidden treasures, and has an atmosphere that feels both historical and enchanting. The courtyard is one of my favourite spaces, a lovely setting for outdoor ceremonies, surrounded by charming architecture and a sense of mystery. Martin and Sean’s autumn celebration, led by Triona, a lovely celebrant, was deeply meaningful and warm. What makes Le Gothique truly special is its personality, that wonderful blend of gothic charm, history, and mysterious spirit. It’s an inspiring choice for couples looking for something unique and quirky. (Just to note, I experienced this venue as a wedding photographer rather than as a restaurant guest.)

Tasty and hearty meals! We went for a table of 2. The steak and frites were nice, and the tarte tartin delicious. Only downside is not enough people know about it, so it’s pretty empty/ without atmosphere. I would go again though!
