The Lanesborough to be featured on BBC 2 Amazing Hotels series

We are honoured that the wonderful team at The Lanesborough, London, selected HCUK as their charity of choice in 2020, after the hotel family was touched by oesophogastric cancer and lost two loved ones to this cruel disease. The team and hotel guests continue to support our work, fundraising in support of the extension of our mobile diagnostic service and making generous donations as a result of initiatives within the hotel that not only raise funds but awareness too.

We are really excited that this great team and the beautiful hotel they are part of is featured on the BBC 2 programme "Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby". Their episode will air on Tuesday 22nd February at 9pm. We will be sat on our sofas with a cup of tea to enjoy it and we thought that you might like to join us.

BBC Two - Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby, Series 4, The Lanesborough, London

We hope you enjoy it.
