The lancasters façade has been restored to its full architectural glory, while, internally, period features such as moulded cornices and open fireplaces have been sympathetically married

to the finest contemporary design.

Set against the stunning backdrop of london’s biggest front garden – Hyde Park – The lancasters provides the very best of both

worlds: a continuous green landscape and the vibrancy of the capital on your doorstep.
