The quintessentially of the British accommodation. Everything is just perfect. The Goring is my home away from home in London, and each time I come I feel as the most important guest in house. Since 2001. The hotel has been recently redecorated and it is now a real jewel: bright rooms, a fantastic breakfast room (delicious fried eggs & green... More

Stopped by for tea because read a lot of fantastic reviews about this place. However, I didn't find the tea to be amazing as noted (and I have been to many places for tea). The service was excellent and everyone was very professional. The location is lovely. Sadly, the tea was just all right.

I took my sister and daughter for their birthdays today for the Bollinger afternoon tea. The service was excellent we spent two and half hours enjoying the fantastic food and surroundings.

I visit the Goring several times a year when work colleagues are staying there. Sometimes I just pop in for a drink, occasionally for afternoon tea and quite often dinner. Whenever I turn up the staff ( who seem ever constant ) give me the warmest welcome always remembering who I am. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere relaxed... More

Fanastic service!!! Beautiful rooms. Family owned and operated. Excellent restaurant and bar. Breakfast in the Dining Room is a must. Tea in the bar area is special. The courtyard behind the hotel is the best in London. Great location on a quiet street.

The Goring is located in a small side street very close to Victoria Station. Three of us arrived separately for dinner. The staff were friendly and the service was outstanding. They effortlessly brought us together in the bar where we enjoyed a leisurely predinner drink and a view of the beautiful interior garden. If it had been warmer we would... More
