Being the closest hotel to Buckingham Palace, The Goring has succeeded in becoming a firm royal favourite since its arrival in 1910. Delivering beyond exceptional standards of hospitality for over a century, all by one family, in 1990 the late George Goring accepted an O.B.E. for their services to the hotel industry and to follow was the great Royal Warrant in 2013.

Discovered in London, 1735, by master silversmith George Wicks, Garrard exceeded in the appointment of the first official Crown Jeweller in 1843. Ever since, the house has boasted a prestigious part in British history with its imaginative designs and beautifully handcrafted pieces. Who better to pay homage to Her Majesty than the bespoke creators of the British Royal Family’s tiaras themselves?
