A Naming Ceremony is an occasion for parents, family and friends to pledge their love and commitment to a child.  It is an opportunity to celebrate the birth of a new baby or to welcome an adoptive child or step-child into their new family.  Supporting adults, grandparents and older siblings are able to make their promises to the child and you can choose poems or readings to enhance the ceremony. 

Naming Ceremonies can be arranged by anyone, from any cultural background and with any spiritual or religious beliefs.  There is no age limit to a Naming Ceremony and more than one sibling may be named at the same time. 

Naming ceremonies have no legal recognition.

Naming ceremonies may take place in any of the approved venues in Kensington and Chelsea or at the Chelsea Old Town Hall itself.

Any person who has applied for and been granted British Citizenship will be required to attend a citizenship ceremony to make a pledge of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen and the United Kingdom.  At the completion of the ceremony the new citizen will be presented with their ‘Certificate of Naturalisation’ allowing them to apply for their British passport.  

There are two types of ceremony that you may choose from.  A group ceremony which is held fortnightly at the Kensington Town Hall and for which there is no charge; or a private ceremony which is held at the Chelsea Old Town Hall upon special request.  Private Citizenship ceremonies can usually be arranged at very short notice, often within a couple of days, for an additional fee. 

Public citizenship ceremonies with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea take place in the Council Chamber at the Kensington Town Hall, on most Tuesday mornings.

Private citizenship ceremonies may take place in the Harrington, Rossetti or Brydon Room at the Chelsea Old Town Hall.
