Iconic London Venue

Lunch and looking at the amazing spaces on offer
This venue is one of my favourites in London, has a special atmosphere the moment you walk into the hotel. Although being a hotel this offers special spaces with high ceilings, chandeliers and a feeling of elegance. Rooms can cater for different sizes between 120-432 for a dinner and dance or 36 for a private dinner or hens party. It offers over 300 bedrooms a onsite spa, gym and swimming pool. Just outside the congestion zone and with its own private car park this venue is a definite yes for any black tie event, wedding, bar mitzvah or other special event.

This has been a year of confusion for most people, for me personally its been frustrating, my husband finally got his travel visa for New Zealand in March this year only to be told by the UK (and our employers) that no travel but essential was allowed, so our trip was put on hold. Immigration New Zealand kindly extended it to December 2020 but the UK went from bad to worse with it being impossible to make the trip there with New Zealand sensibly closing its boarders to everyone. Events were cancelled indefinitely, and Facebook memories only serve to show how different this year was to last year. Luckily I was able to secure a job in procurement and put this business on hold. I finally have an event booked in Kosovo for 26 and 27 December only to be thrown into uncertainty again with my region going from Tier 2 to Tier 3 at Mid-night yesterday and to find out today we are now going to Tier 4 despite cases being low. The big question for me is why did they not do this a month ago? Is it because the government wanting to keep schools open and people going to work? The message this year is Christmas is cancelled! I am hoping things will change next year and we can get back some kind of "normality" again. I hope everyone is staying safe and well. Would love your feedback and comments.
