A private garden in the heart of London

A little county life in Belgravia

We’re proud to own London’s largest private garden, tucked away rather unexpectedly behind the hotel in a secluded corner of Belgravia. Utterly peaceful yet steps from some of London’s most famous landmarks, it has the feel of a quintessential English country garden. Bees buzz, birds chirrup and our beautifully-planted borders and expansive lawn transport our guests to the countryside. Come for a stroll, a snooze in a deckchair, a sniff of our scented flowers or a game of croquet. The Goring Garden is yours to enjoy however you like.

What can we get you?

Drinks, deckchairs and debatable croquet etiquette

While you’re here, what can we get you? Is it Pimm’s o’clock yet? The Garden comes into its own every season. In winter, a cosy corner of The Garden is bedecked in fairy lights and sheepskins offering a spot for a warming toddy, while in summer Champagne corks pop as we celebrate simply being alive. When the sun shines, take your morning coffee and the paper in a deckchair or indulge in a lightly-competitive game of croquet with a fruity glass of Pimm’s. 

Tea with a view

Sandwiches and sunshine

Afternoon Tea on the light-filled Veranda overlooks the majesty of our Garden, a fitting accompaniment to dainty sandwiches, fluffy scones and a chilled glass of Bolly. When the weather warms up, The Verandah windows are flung open and you can hear the sounds of our beautiful English garden as you sip your tea and savour our famous Coronation chicken sandwiches. 

  • How does your garden grow?

    Unmistakably English

    Stop to chat to our gardeners and they’ll tell you that the inspiration for The Goring’s green space came from the sensory pleasures of an English country garden. Full of scents and colour but with a slightly undone look, artfully untamed, if you will. At The Goring, hydrangeas bloom in a riot of hues, oversized terracotta pots bring nothing less than joy and colour extends throughout the year from the glossy pop of a winter camellia to the autumnal turn of our magnificent plane trees. The result is unmistakably English. Come and see for yourself.

The hotel sits on a quiet private mews and has a vast mature garden – ideal for picnics and fizz in summer.
