Nestled beside Whitehall Gardens, The Royal Horseguards Hotel is unveiling its English country garden terrace for the summer season. Opening its doors on 12th May, the Terrace will offer Londoners a rare, tranquil, secret garden escape just off the River Thames, in the heart of central London.
During opening week, from Monday, May 12th, to Friday, May 16th, the first 50 guests each day will be treated to a complimentary welcome drink, including any choice of cocktail, wine, or beer. To redeem the free drink, all guests have to say is ‘1884’ on arrival, a nod to the year The Royal Horseguards Hotel opened.
Set to be the must-visit, in-the-know destination of the summer, the quintessentially English country garden-style terrace is a nod to the rich heritage of The Royal Horseguards building, which has previously played host to Winston Churchill, Lloyd George, and the first chief of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service.
With a live-growing tomato wall, allotments, and sweeping views over the London Eye and beyond, The Terrace at The Royal Horseguards Hotel is where alfresco dining meets timeless heritage. A secluded haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life, The Terrace will provide a charming spot for all occasions, from leisurely lunches to intimate dinners and lively evening gatherings.
Relaxed yet refined, the inviting garden terrace’s alfresco charm is complete with comfy wicker sofas, blankets, and country garden decor. From fresh salads to classic British favourites like Fish and chips, The Terrace brings together the finest ingredients. Favourites on the summer menu include Pan-Seared Seabass and the Grilled Lamb Cutlet, or a Super Food Salad and “Sumac” Roasted Butternut Squash for a lighter option.
Highlights on the drinks menu include The Terrace Spritz, featuring Beefeater 24 gin, elderflower tonic, cloudy apple juice, and mint; The Raspberry Fizzante, Belvedere vodka, cranberry juice, sparkling wine, and raspberries; and The Pimm’s Spritz, Pimm’s No.1, sparkling wine, lemon tonic, strawberries, and cucumber. The spritz and elegant cocktail menus will be accompanied by an extensive list of wines, beers, and spirits.
The Terrace is dog-friendly, welcoming well-behaved dogs to enjoy the hidden garden oasis along with their owners.
