Overlooking the River Thames in the heart of Westminster, The Royal Horseguards Hotel is one of London’s most distinguished historic hotels, renowned for its Victorian grandeur, rich heritage and warm hospitality.

Situated moments from Victoria Embankment, Covent Garden and the city’s iconic cultural landmarks, the hotel was once frequented by Winston Churchill, William Gladstone and David Lloyd George, while its grand apartments housed Britain’s first Chief of Secret Intelligence, a legacy that continues to shape its distinctive character today.

This summer, The Royal Horseguards is proud to support London Heritage Quarter’s Pride in the Quarter lion trail, celebrating creativity, community and the spirit of London during a summer of football and city-wide celebration.
