The Bar/Lounge at The Royal Horseguards

"There’s a pretty lounge with chandeliers and paintings, thoroughly in keeping with the general ambience of this classic hotel"

"Overlooking the Thames in Westminster, this historic Victorian luxury hotel served as HQ for the Secret Service during World War I and has hosted many a statesman and politician over the years – its bar serves cocktails inspired by Winston Churchill and other guests"

"We recommend ordering the Churchill cocktail from the Equus bar before asking hotel employees about Winston Churchill’s secret tunnels in the hotel's cellar, which he supposedly used to get from the House of Lords to his own personal bar"

"A piano accompanies evening cocktails in the quiet street-side lounge"
