TEA GUILD MEMBER

The Goring

Opened in 1910 in a quiet street just around the corner from bustling Victoria Station, The legendery Goring is much loved by its many guests who, whilst in London, treat the hotel as their "home away from home" and also by Londoners who love the ambience of a calm, relaxed country house hotel in which they can discuss business or meet with their friends.

The comfortable lounge is reminiscent of a private drawing room with its soft, inviting leather armchairs and plush carpets and beyond, a light, airy terrace provides more seating. In warm weather, the open-air Terrace has a wonderful view of the private garden - the largest of its kind in London - with its clipped hedges and colourful flower beds.

Guests may take Afternoon Tea in any of these three elegant locations where they will be served an excellent selection of traditional sandwiches, scones and pastries.
