Join KItchen Chat host Margaret McSweeney as she steps both into the future and back in time, to the hallowed, historic grounds of the Raffles London at The OWO. Experience the property’s recent magnificent transformation of the Old War Office, a building where history was profoundly made, from the days of Winston Churchill to Ian Fleming’s James Bond. Today, the historic building’s storied past seamlessly intertwines with Raffles London at the OWO’s unparalleled commitment to modern hospitality and culinary excellence. I especially enjoyed the exquisite Afternoon Tea.

Just the name “Raffles” conjures images of timeless luxury and exotic elegance. The first Raffles opened in Singapore in 1887. Recently, host Margaret McSweeney took an extraordinary journey to witness the most anticipated re-emergence of one of the world’s most timeless luxury destinations. Discover how this Grade II* listed Edwardian masterpiece, completed in 1906, has been meticulously reborn as a beacon of elegance. Last year, Margaret had the honor of interviewing Philippe Leboeuf who at that time was the Managing Director of Raffles London at The OWO. His precious dog Archie joined them for the Kitchen Chat. Explore the magnificent, refurbished corridors and the innovative global kitchens that are ushering in a new era of gastronomy in London.

Here is a look at our video chat:

Raffles London at The OWO is a dazzling, contemporary landmark, embodying a rich historical legacy and the vibrant future of world-class, timeless luxury, history and hospitality.
