The King's Gallery London & Sparkling Tea at The Royal Horseguards Hotel for Two

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.

Complement your feast with a range of teas, including The Royal Horseguards’ unique Strawberry & Cream blend.
