Afternoon Tea & Farewell @ The Cadogan Hotel

Join us for afternon tea in a unique event filled with history, art, music and prominent guests on the 30th July at the historic Cadogan hotel, one day before it closes for a 2-year refurbishment. It was 127 years ago, when the Cadogan hotel was built and since then some of the world's most prominent personalities have visited it. It is a landmark that has helped shape the history of the Kensington & Chelsea area and it is the hotel in which Oscar Wilde was arrested and Lilly Langtry often resided.

The event will take place between 13:30 and 16:30 and guests will have the chance to socialise, enjoy a live performance by a solo harpist from the Royal College of Music and view a selection of contemporary paintings as well as other artistic creations such as hand-painted scarves. Guests can remain from 16:30 to 17:30 where artworks are to be exhibited in the hotel's Oscar and Lilly rooms. The General Manager of the hotel will talk about the hotel and its history and we are delighted to have The National Chairman of the Conservative Women's Organisation, Ms Niki Molnar as our Guest of Honour. Guests that express their interest in advance, will have the chance to receive a tour at the beautiful private Cadogan Gardens by a member of the Dianoia Team. Part of the proceedings will support selected charities and CWO.

If you require overnight accomodation at the hotel on the same night or the night before, please email us at [email protected] in order to provide you with our special rate for the event.
