Hire
Hire the Mill
An atmospheric, Grade I listed riverside setting for weddings, events, exhibitions and filming — and every booking helps preserve the mill.
The House Mill is one of London’s most remarkable historic buildings — and one of its best-kept secrets. With its weathered brick, timber interiors and setting right on the River Lea, it offers an evocative backdrop you won’t find anywhere else. Hiring the mill also directly supports its care, so your event helps keep this piece of London’s heritage standing.
To talk through any kind of hire, please contact us — we’re a friendly, volunteer-run charity and happy to help.
Weddings & celebrations
The mill and its garden make a memorable, characterful setting for a wedding, civil partnership, reception or special celebration. (Capacity, what’s included and current charges are being updated — please ask.)
Meetings & events
The neighbouring Miller’s House offers comfortable, modern rooms for meetings, away-days, talks, workshops and small conferences, with a riverside outlook. (Room sizes, capacities and rates are being updated — please ask.)
Exhibitions in the gallery
Our gallery space is available to hire for exhibitions and displays — a distinctive setting that has shown work by both established and emerging artists. To discuss showing your work, please get in touch.
Filming & photography
With its unrestored interiors and striking riverside frontage, the mill is a sought-after location for film, television and photography, and has featured in feature films, music videos and fashion shoots. For filming enquiries, please contact us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
