A Royal Day Out: Art and Elegance in London
Start your day steeped in history and culture with a visit to The King’s Gallery, located right next to Buckingham Palace. Once a private chapel for Queen Victoria, this iconic site rose from the ashes of a 1940 air raid to become a stunning art gallery in 1962, thanks to the vision of Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh.
Expanded and modernized in 1997, The King’s Gallery became the most significant addition to Buckingham Palace in over 150 years. Officially opened in 2002 during the Golden Jubilee celebrations, it now showcases a dynamic program of exhibitions from the Royal Collection, offering a feast for art enthusiasts.
A Leisurely Stroll and Afternoon Tea Delight - After soaking in the artistic splendour, take a delightful stroll along The Mall toward The Royal Horseguards Hotel, an impressive riverside gem. Steeped in history, this Victorian marvel blends grandeur with contemporary luxury. With connections to iconic figures like Churchill and Gladstone, its walls whisper tales of Britain’s past.
Indulge in Afternoon Tea - Treat yourself to an elegant afternoon tea featuring delectable sweet treats like lemon meringue pie, strawberry tart, and chocolate éclairs. Enjoy a selection of sandwiches, from smoked salmon to classic cucumber and cream cheese. Don’t forget the scones—served with clotted cream and jam, of course! Complement your feast with a range of teas, including The Royal Horseguards’ unique Strawberry & Cream blend.
Plan Your Royal Escape - The King’s Gallery and The Royal Horseguards Hotel offer a perfect pairing of culture, history, and indulgence.
