Londoner’s Diary: Boris Johnsons’ wedding bash has a chequered journey

Where will Boris and Carrie Johnson hold their “last party”? After Johnson said he would leave No 10, attention turned to a bash the pair were planning to celebrate their wedding this month at Chequers, the Prime Minister’s private residence, as first reported by The Londoner. After some outcry, the couple said they would move the venue, which we hear was a particular wrench because the original invitations had a picture of the country house embossed on the card.

But where can they hold it? A bash in Downing Street is unlikely given the partygate scandal, and is unlikely to be big enough. The couple’s homes in Oxfordshire and Camberwell are occupied by tenants. In the past, they have made use of the generosity of friends, taking holidays in villas at Lord Zac Goldsmith’s house in Spain and businessman David Ross’s villa in Mustique. Answers on a postcard.
