CELEBRATING 160 YEARS

This year, The Langham, London celebrates 160 years as Europe’s original grand hotel with a series of experiences that pay tribute to its Victorian-era origins in thoughtful, modern ways.

Commemorative Afternoon Tea

As the hotel that first introduced Afternoon Tea to London society, The Langham celebrates with a commemorative service that brings together sweet and savoury favourites from the 19th and 20th centuries—modernised with seasonal ingredients and refined presentation.

In a tribute to the year of the hotel’s founding, 160 lucky guests randomly selected over the first 16 days will be offered afternoon tea at a special price of £18.65 to enjoy the experience at this celebratory rate.

Anniversary Lobster Roll

To mark the occasion, The Wigmore introduces a celebratory, limited-edition Lobster Roll that offers a luxurious nod to a once-humble ingredient. In Victorian Britain, lobster was known as the “poor man’s protein” before evolving into a sought-after delicacy. This special edition roll celebrates that transformation—served warm in a soft, buttery bun and wrapped in custom-designed newspaper inspired by 1860s publications.

The 'Purple Velvet' Cocktail

Artesian, The Langham’s award-winning cocktail bar, raises a glass to 160 years with the Purple Velvet—a bold reimagining of a Victorian-era favourite. This limited-edition serve combines London Dry Gin, lemon juice, violet liqueur, and sugar syrup, topped with Champagne and finished with stout caviar—a nod to the popularity of stouts and porters across 19th-century British society.

1865 "Taittinger Time"

Each evening at 18:65 (7:05pm)—a playful nod to the hotel’s founding year of 1865—guests will gather in the grandeur of the Palm Court lobby for “Taittinger Time”, an exclusive Champagne moment inspired by the spirit of Victorian celebration, reimagined for today.

In The Langham Club Lounge, guests will also enjoy a specially created Langham Anniversary Punch, served during the same half-hour window. Together, these timed tributes honour The Langham’s heritage while offering today’s guests a taste of Victorian elegance in a relaxed and convivial setting.
