The OWO Raffles Lunch
Raffles London at The OWO occupies a magnificent Grade II* Edwardian Baroque building in Whitehall, the epicentre of British Government. A meticulous six-year restoration has seen thousands of expert craftsmen and women transform The Old War Office, today known as The OWO, into an exciting new destination for London. Handsome state rooms and grand offices have been transformed into 120 spacious guest rooms and suites with views of Whitehall and Horse Guards; while the building’s majestic architectural features lend themselves to dazzling entertainment and celebration, in true Raffles style.
Lord Wesley Pestano President of The London Diplomatic Association (LDA), and Nick Waugh, Senior Group Head of Partner Relations, a new member of the LDA team, were kindly invited by the OWO Team, the General Manager Patrick Fisher and Senior Sales Manager Sebastian Gere to a fine lunch in the Heritage gallery and regally looked after by Patrycja Maslanka OWO`s Private Dining Groups Executive.
