Yes, but they will need to give notice at a designated registry office. See here.

She cannot, though, apply to remain in the UK after the marriage; she will have to return home and apply for settlement there as his spouse if she wishes to live in the UK after the marriage.

The embassy see it differently they still say if you are intending to get married you should apply for a special visitors visa for marriage.

see earlier post in regards to this.

But if the embassy see it differently, will the registrars office?

The reply TVE got from the embassy is ambiguous; they talk about the intention to marry when applying for the visa.

This is the topic in question.

The embassy never actually answer the question I see little need to apply for a special visitors visa now registrars see it totally differently to the UK/BA.

I don't think anyone will have a problem finding a registry office in the UK, they will need any divorce documents translating into English to present to the registrar.

Yes registry offices are everywhere, but not all are designated. for example Lincolnshire has 13 registry offices but only one is designated
