Overview

Fine dining in style, great conversations, lots of laughter, and a wonderful opportunity to eat out with others, make new friends, and never dine alone again.

Do you love fine dining at a low cost? Do you often find it difficult to dine out with friends because they cancel at the last minute?

Join me and others in the same boat for dinner at this fabulous five-star hotel overlooking the River Thames near Covent Garden, and enjoy a three-course meal with a glass of bubbly each.

Located on the Embankment, the five-star The Royal Horseguards Hotel boasts some of the most iconic views in London. This Grade I listed Victorian building served as the headquarters of the Secret Service during World War I, and the restored interior retains much of its period charm.

Inspired by the changing of the seasons, the restaurant One Twenty One Two offers a menu showcasing classic continental dishes prepared with British-produced artisan ingredients.

With its eclectic fabrics and décor, the Equus Bar recreates the gentlemen’s club atmosphere of the hotel’s past. The bar celebrates its rich history with contemporary cocktails named after famous former guests such as George Bernard Shaw, Herbert Kitchener, Winston Churchill and William Gladstone.
