    Definitely not a vibe. Very trad, not interesting visually and no atmosphere of its own. Service is willing and discreet but there is no reason to return.

    Not at all what we expected, much less quality and hospitality than we were led to believe.

    We had cream tea in The Withdrawing Room, which included scones with cream and jam, tea and the best mocktail I’ve ever tasted. The service was impeccable and the room is beautiful. It was a very enjoyable experience.

    After visiting Apsley House and Buckingham Palace Galleries this was the perfect place to enjoy lunch. We had a lovely waitress. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the special lunch menu. Calm, quiet away from the crowds of London.

    Unfortunately, much to my disappointment, the manager of The Withdrawing room prohibited my table from photography while obviously allowing other guests to photograph within the same arena- I do class this as discrimination however do not feel confrontation is the answer hence left the Lanesborough feeling rather dissatisfied. Previous visits have been positive however this particular manager did not have knowledge of the PR promotion online of the Withdrawing room or Social Media in general, this may be due to his ethnicity or background as it was not British hence the manager could comprehend certain media or cultural terminology .
