The Goring is no average hotel. Opened in 1910 and owned and run by the Goring family since establishment, it's the epitome of the British experience. The comfortable guestrooms are emphatically old English yet boast the most modern conveniences. The atmosphere is glamorous without being uptight. The service is simply exceptional. The hotel is located on a quiet street just a stones throw from Buckingham Palace and three blocks from Victoria station. It's set on meticulously groomed grounds. It's both close to the sights and far-removed from the throng. Family Travel Tips: The Goring has 71 rooms and suites. The dinning room serves proper English cuisine. Afternoon tea is one of the city's best. While there's no fitness room onsite, accommodation at The Goring includes complementary membership to a nearby full service gym.
