Serving Breakfast and Afternoon Tea at The Royal Horseguards Hotel in the Heart of Whitehall
The Green Parlour, a botanical-inspired lounge, is now open at The Royal Horseguards Hotel . Tucked between the Thames, Embankment and some of London’s most recognisable landmarks, it offers a place to slow down, relax and savour something special.
The Green Parlour brings a fresh, contemporary softness to the building’s Victorian architecture. Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee and pastries or settling in for a long, indulgent Afternoon Tea, the atmosphere remains warm, elegant and unmistakably London.
The Green Parlour will serve up Afternoon Tea and Breakfast menus for both hotel guests and visitors. The Afternoon Tea, priced at £60 per person, celebrates delicate flavours and seasonal produce, beginning with a refined selection of sandwiches. Highlights include beetroot-cured smoked salmon layered with lemon-parsley cream cheese; peppered pastrami paired with a bright, zesty mustard aioli; a silky truffled egg mayo with chives on buttery tomato bread; and a fresh, garden-inspired combination of minted ricotta and cucumber ribbons.
Warm scones follow, in both traditional plain and a fragrant star anise and orange zest variation, served with raspberry and blackberry organic preserves and a generous helping of Cornish clotted cream.
The sweet course brings the Afternoon Tea draws inspiration from London’s parks. A creamy lavender-kissed cheesecake nods to the calm of Primrose Hill; a glossy chocolate éclair echoes the classic elegance of Hyde Park; a spiced choux bun topped with gold leaf captures the quiet grandeur of Green Park; and a pineapple-and-yuzu entremet pays tribute to the serenity of Holland Park’s Kyoto Garden.
Guests can also enjoy a curated drinks selection, from botanical-inspired cocktails like the floral Lychee on the Heath and the peach-bright Regent’s Breeze to a refreshing non-alcoholic Green Parlour Spritz. English sparkling wines, including Louis Pommery and Henners, sit alongside a wide choice of artisan loose-leaf teas, coffees and fresh juices, offering something for every moment of the day.
Mornings at The Green Parlour offer favourites and modern classics, from crushed avocado on sourdough and truffle-topped eggs benedict to creamy berry porridge and a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for a more savoury start.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth try fluffy pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries, whike the hearty Royal Horseguards Breakfast Doorstep is a real crowd pleaser. The in-house bakery adds the finishing touch with buttery croissants, almond pastries and chocolate-rich pain au chocolat, alongside freshly brewed coffee, speciality teas or cold-pressed juices.
