Day 1
Fuel up with an English breakfast before discovering the rich history of the British monarchy at the Tower of London. After a spot of lunch at one of the city's chicest hideouts, rejuvenate at The Lanesborough Club & Spa.
Morning
Welcome to London Set yourself up for an action-packed day, with a delicious English breakfast served in our restaurant or brought to your room by your own personal butler. Then take a stroll through St James’s Park, looking out for the ducks and squirrels and enjoying this oasis of peace in the heart of the city. Continue your walk towards the Thames, admiring London’s iconic architecture, as you find your way to Embankment Pier. From here, board a river boat that will take you to the Tower of London.
The Jewel of the Crown The best way to learn about the rich lineage of the British Monarchy is with a private tour of the Tower. You’ll be joined by a Yeoman Warder – or Beefeater, as they’re known – who will guide you through the awe-inspiring symbols of monarchy, culminating in a glimpse of the Crown Jewels and the 530.2-carat Cullinan I diamond. Explore the White Tower, where Guy Fawkes is believed to have been interrogated, and learn more about this formidable royal fortress.
Lunchtime & Afternoon
Lunch at The Ivy Since admiring Tower Bridge never tires, take a table on the large terrace at The Ivy Tower Bridge. Choose from classic comfort food such as The Ivy hamburger and shepherd’s pie, or healthy options such as pan-fried sea bass fillet. The interior is decorated in colourful hues of orange and teal blue, created by the renowned Martin Brudnizki Design Studio. After lunch, experience a natural high at The Shard. Take the lift up to the top – 72 floors up – to enjoy the spectacular panoramic views over London from the open-air terrace.
Time to relax Then, head back to the hotel to unwind with a special spa treatment. Treat yourself to the Signature Royal Fern facial, a treatment designed exclusively for The Lanesborough Club & Spa, incorporating sculpting EMS tools and stimulating facial massage techniques.
Evening
The Lanesborough Grill It’s time for dinner at The Lanesborough Grill. Discover our modern British menu championing regional artisans and the very best seasonal produce from around the country, and enjoy live musical performances on Friday and Saturday nights. Dishes change frequently, with some served tableside on gueridon trolleys, creating a sense of restaurant theatre. Signature dishes include coronation crab salad, beef wellington and Dover sole.
The Library Bar End your evening at the Library Bar, where you’ll catch our soulful singers and pianists on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Choose one of our tempting concoctions, such as the Lilibet, with Earl Grey infused gin. If you’re lucky, the house cat, also called Lilibet, might make an appearance.
