The Peninsula London introduces two new Peninsula Academy experiences | News
Today, The Peninsula London announced two new Peninsula Academy programs, each designed to give hotel guests access to historic, cultural and local lifestyle experiences in the British capital. Carefully curated and privately guided, each trip is designed to captivate even the most seasoned London visitor and open doors to experiences beyond the usual reach.
Each experience reveals a different perspective on the city, giving guests a deeper understanding of its heritage and hidden stories, with a curated collection of programs available for both adults and children. These meaningful moments reinforce the hotel’s reputation for providing a superior guest experience and setting the bar for luxury and impeccable service in one of the most sophisticated cities in the world.
ART OF WRITING: CALLIGRAPHY WITH YARD-O-LED
A look into the craft of calligraphy with Yard-O-Led, the British maker of fine writing instruments. Guests will put pen to paper and explore the strokes, letterforms and monoline calligraphy of this enduring art form. Guests will be transferred from The Peninsula London in one of the hotel’s custom-built vehicles to Yard-O-Led, located in the historic Piccadilly Arcade. Here, participants are invited to step away from the pace of everyday life and lose themselves in the meditative art of calligraphy, through the gentle rhythm of pen on paper. Enjoyed with a glass of English sparkling wine, this elegant escape is designed to inspire and reconnect guests with the joy of handwriting.
After a short transfer back to The Peninsula London in the hotel’s signature Peninsula Green fleet, the experience concludes with a Yard-O-Led-inspired cocktail and stunning city views at Brooklands Bar. To complete the experience, each guest is gifted a set of writing paper to take home.
GBP £1,137 for three people. Experience available for groups of up to 8 people.
A DAY WITH TUTHILL IN OXFORDSHIRE
A rare opportunity to step into one of Britain’s most respected car workshops with a private visit to the Tuthill workshop, renowned worldwide for its bespoke Porsche builds and rally-winning engineering. Reserved exclusively for guests of The Peninsula London, this very limited day experience offers a private tour of the workshop, guided by a senior member of the Tuthill team. This includes access to active construction sites, production areas and current vehicles in development, providing an unfiltered view of how iconic cars are being reimagined.
The day ends with lunch at The Orangery at Aynhoe Park, a 400-year-old estate designed by British architect Sir John Soane, where guests can relax and reflect on the morning, surrounded by the Oxfordshire countryside. For those looking for a deeper, hands-on element, guests can enrich their visit with an optional high-end simulator training session with one of Tuthill’s racing partners, tailored to their experience level. This Peninsula Academy add-on is typically a discreet, invitation-only experience with limited availability and designed for true car enthusiasts.
A Day with Tuthill in Oxfordshire is available exclusively to guests of The Peninsula London on selected weekdays and costs £3,138 for three guests. For those looking to extend the experience, an optional high-performance simulator session is available upon request.
