Inside the room features the original restored Waring and Gillow panelling. Amongst the rich fabrics and period furniture the focal point is a ''jewel box'' counter, displaying fine pastries by day and serving champagne cocktails by night.

Homage Cocktail Bar - Originally the Hansom Cab and Grill, the Opera Bar and the Gaslight Bar.

The Waldorf is located on the Aldwych, between Covent Garden and the River Thames. Express trains serve both airports into the center of London, for transfers to taxis or the Underground (subway). The closest Underground stations are Temple and Covent Garden. Taxis are best hailed with the assistance of the porter.

Although parking facilities can be found nearby, there are heavy fines for drivers who forget to pay new tolls for driving into central London. Navigating traffic is difficult even for the seasoned driver. Best bet: taxis or the Underground.
