You might still spot politicians enjoying a reprieve from Parliament at The Royal Horseguards. It began life as The National Liberal Club in 1884 and was commandeered by the Ministry of Defense during both world wars to headquarter the M15 and M16, Britain's secret intelligence organizations. After undergoing a full renovation in 2008, sparkling chandeliers and contemporary accents join the oil paintings and rich red and gold furnishings that still retain the air of Westminster.

As most other reviews have noted, the location is absolutely perfect, and easy walking to many desireable sights. Front end manager Lakshmi was very friendly and professional. Doormen Previn and Javier were also very attentive and friendly. The property itself is a beautiful historic building, with a fantastic marble staircase that is not typically for use by the general public. That being said, the building is historic, and should not be confused as a modern hotel. Breakfast is buffet style and there should something for everyone. The restaurant is quite lovely, with a patio that overlooks a park. Restaurant and Bar staff were all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, particularly one of the the bartenders, who is a Boston Celtics fan! Unfortunately one of the elevators was not working and it created quite a bit of delay and confusion, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, I highly recommend!

Was looking at taking family from abroad for an afternoon tea experience and this checked all the boxes, lovely setting and the food and service was great. Booked using a voucher and it was well worth the money. No lunch needed as it includes mini sandwiches, was very copious!

Wow! What a lovely treat, the venue is amazing, the food was amazing and such a good choice to choose from. We had 3 courses each which plenty, my steak was cooked to perfection as was my wife’s sea bass. Special mention to Darshini our waitress who was amazing and so courteous.
