Timeless elegance

Historically The Savoy’s original river-facing reception area, the River Room has been part of the banqueting area since the beginning of the 20th century. The room has played host to a prize-winning Bentley motorcar in 1927, and to Marilyn Monroe making her first official appearance in front of British press photographers in 1957.

A piece of history

In 1946, the River Room became a part of British history, when the Royal Family gathered for the first time in public since the war, at a wedding reception held at The Savoy. Press photographs showed the then-Princess Elizabeth standing with her future husband Lt Philip Mountbatten. This was the very first time that they were seen together in public.
