It is now the oldest privately owned luxury hotel in London. Each of the 71 individually designed bedrooms and suites exude English style.
Late afternoon depart with chauffeur guide to the “south side” of the river Thames and board a private capsule on the London Eye, the world’s largest observation wheel and see the capital and over 55 of our most famous landmarks from a different perspective.

Head “next door” for a private visit of the Royal Mews without a doubt, one of the finest working stables in existence. See the Glass State Coach and the 1902 State Landau, both of which were used on the journey from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace on the 29th April for the Royal Wedding.
And for the finale – visit Westminster Abbey – a stunning Gothic church which intertwines with the very fabric of English history. It is the scene of every Royal Coronation since 1066, and it is where many of the Kings and Queens of England are buried.
