A Royal escape is calling…and it’s dressed to impress! To celebrate our Summer in Kensington campaign, we've teamed up with High Street Kensington to offer you the chance to win a luxurious overnight stay for two at the iconic Royal Garden Hotel, complete with breakfast.

Located in the bustling neighbourhood of Kensington and on the doorstep of Hyde Park, a stay at the Royal Garden Hotel puts you right into the midst of London. Enjoy a seamless blend of exceptional tailored service, unrivalled comfort and amazing views of London!
