The Peninsula London Launches New Peninsula Academy Courses

The Peninsula London has introduced three new bespoke experiences as part of its Peninsula Academy program. Reserved exclusively for hotel guests, these curated journeys showcase exceptional London moments led by expert guides, blending craftsmanship, history and wellbeing.

Asprey Bespoke: A Masterclass in Luxury & Craftsmanship

Guests are invited to personalize an item from the storied London house of Asprey. After browsing the selection at The Peninsula’s Asprey boutique, visitors choose a piece to be expertly customized by a skilled artisan. The experience concludes with a refined afternoon tea at Asprey, creating a seamless pairing of bespoke design and traditional hospitality.

Discover Apsley House: Inside Number One London

Apsley House, historically known as Number One London, is one of the capital’s most significant and elegant townhouses. Once the London residence of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, the house contains a remarkable private collection of art, costumes and artifacts. This intimate tour gives guests privileged access to rooms and collections not usually open to the public, accompanied by expert commentary that illuminates the house’s social and cultural history.

National Gallery Wellness-Inspired Private View

For a restorative cultural experience, guests can take an after-hours journey to the National Gallery in The Peninsula’s Rolls-Royce for a private guided viewing. The program combines interpretation of the gallery’s masterpieces with wellness practices — including meditation, breathwork and visualization — to create a multisensory encounter with art. Returning to the hotel, guests can continue the restorative itinerary with a signature sensory massage at The Peninsula Spa.

These new offerings complement existing Peninsula Academy London experiences, such as Crown Jewels and Gemology, The Peninsula Children’s Adventure Quest and The Peninsula’s Grand Tour of London. Together, they form a varied program that highlights craftsmanship, history, family activities and curated tours tailored for discerning visitors to London.
