Throughout 2025, visitors enjoyed some of the city’s most iconic events. From the record-breaking London Marathon to the moment Stevie Wonder closed out the BST Hyde Park festival, and the sensational battle between Alcaraz & Sinner which led to a new Wimbledon champion – the city offered something for every interest. These are just a few of the moments, combined with London’s world-class dining, shopping, and cultural scene, that made 2025 a standout year for both first-time visitors and returning guests staying at our luxury London hotel. 

Looking ahead to London 2026

Our specially designed spa packages, centred around a ‘detox’ theme, are created to help guests recharge both physically and mentally. Whether you are easing into the new year or committing to healthier habits, these experiences offer the perfect foundation for a positive start to 2026. Our detox London spa packages will be available to book or add to any stay from the beginning of January.

Tips for a Winning Day at Wimbledon

If you’re joining the Queue, arrive early—very early—to give yourself the best chance of getting into the grounds or even landing one of the 500 daily show court tickets available for Centre Court, No.1, or No.2 Court. Bring a picnic blanket, some snacks, and your favourite book or card game to pass the time in style. Be prepared to make friendly conversation with fellow tennis fans which is all part of the fun!

Even if you don’t land a show court seat straight away, don’t fret. Grounds passes give you access to a host of outer courts—including Courts 12, 18, and 3—as well as The Hill (also known as Henman Hill or Murray Mound), where you can catch the action on the big screen and maybe even make your own TV appearance!

Bonus Tip: Once inside, keep an eye on the ticket resale kiosks. As ticket holders leave for the day, their unused show court seats are resold at a discount—a brilliant way to snag top Wimbledon seats for less.

More Than Just Tennis

While the tennis is the main event, Wimbledon offers a great day out beyond the matches. Explore fun activities, sip champagne at the Lanson Champagne Bar, pick up an iconic Wimbledon Towel at one of the many Official Wimbledon shops or admire the floral displays that change yearly. Whether you’re following the sport’s rising stars or sipping Pimm’s between sets, there’s something for everyone.
