Lilibet
The flagship British restaurant at Raffles London at the OWO. A room inside one of the most remarkable buildings in London — the Old War Office, where Churchill worked.
Lilibet is inside Raffles London at the OWO — the Old War Office building on Whitehall where Churchill and his war cabinet worked, converted into one of the most dramatically located hotels in the city. The restaurant takes the British tradition seriously without being museum-like about it: seasonal modern British cooking in a room with the proportions and history of the building behind every detail.
The OWO conversion is the most significant London hotel opening of recent years, and Lilibet is the dining room that holds the most of the building's character. A room that justifies itself before anything arrives from the kitchen — and the kitchen doesn't let the room do all the work.
Seasonal modern British — the kind of cooking that takes the tradition as a starting point and applies genuine craft. The sourcing is serious; the menu changes with discipline.
A grand room inside the Old War Office — high ceilings, the bones of Edwardian government architecture, a space with genuine historical weight. One of the most remarkable dining rooms in London for reasons that have nothing to do with the design.
THE BRITISH SEASONAL MENU · AFTERNOON TEA (THE BUILDING DEMANDS IT)
Lilibet is the room for a dinner in London that the city's history supports. The building is the backdrop and the kitchen earns its place within it.
Reserve well in advance — this room fills weeks out, especially on weekends.
Aim for an earlier seating if you want a calmer room; later tables run louder and longer.
