More Reasons to Go
- Great Scotland Yard was the original HQ of the Metropolitan Police. Jack the Ripper suspects were interviewed here and Charles Dickens also shadowed officers that worked at the property.
- The building was also used by the Ministry of Defence in both world wars and once acted as the London residence of the Scottish Royal Family.

Lovely venue beautiful interior. Fantastic staff, polite, attentive, great service )top marks )The food however was a disappointment. Certainly one of the most disappointing. and overpriced for the food offered. Trying too hard to be different (we had the tennis afternoon tea) . Based on the food and the associated price we would not go back.

Very pleasant experience. Food was delicious and well presented. Fabulous hotel. I was a little disappointed with the tour, it did say on the itinerary after the first course there would be a 15 to 20 min tour. I did have to ask for it, and had it part way through the cakes, but it only lasted five minutes, it was interesting, but I was expecting to see more than I did. Not a criticism, but just wanted to mention it, so others aren't disappointed.
