FROM CASTING OUR VOTE TO FOLLOWING COMEY’S TESTIMONY IN THE US, THERE’S NO AVOIDING POLITICS TODAY. AS WE AWAIT THE NEWS FROM THE EXIT POLLS, WE’RE REFLECTING ON CHURCHILL’S ERA WITH THIS SLICE OF HISTORY FROM OUR FRIENDS AT THE SAVOY.

The team at the Savoy revealed: “To mark the release of the new film, Churchill, The Savoy has created the Ultimate Churchill Experience. Guests will be welcomed for a one-night stay in the Winston Churchill Personality River View Suite. This provides the opportunity to enjoy a truly memorable Churchill-inspired stay.”

Winston Churchill, who was a regular visitor to the hotel throughout his entire life, had a special fondness for The Savoy. And in celebration of this relationship, a suite was named after him.  While dining at The Savoy in 1939, Churchill famously got the call telling him he was to be the wartime Prime Minister.  Having previously founded a private dining club at The Savoy, “The Other Club” in 1910, he attended its dinners in a private capacity as often as possible until his death. In fact his final public appearance was at such a dinner in 1964. During the Second World War he lunched at The Savoy so frequently with members of his cabinet, that a suite was permanently reserved for him to enjoy one of his famous power-naps.
