The Royal Forest Hotel is an historic building on the edge of Epping Forest in Chingford. <\/p>\n

There has been a Forest Hotel on this site since the late 19th century, when the City Lands Committee offered an 80-year building lease on the land next to the famous Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge. Forest Hotel was opened by Mr and Mrs Gordon in 1880 and, following a visit to Chingford by Queen Victoria in 1882, the hotel was renamed \u201cThe Royal Forest Hotel.\u201d In 1912, the hotel suffered a devastating fire that destroyed the top floor and although the building was rebuilt, it was never restored to its original height. <\/p>\n

The building has been through many owners since then and has recently been refurbished to a Heartwood pub hotel & restaurant. It retains its wide staircase, adorned with a stunning stained-glass window that depicts Queen Elizabeth I and her court at the Epping Hunt. This window remains a beautiful testament to the hotel\u2019s connection to royal history and local heritage.<\/p>\n

The City Adventurers visited the refurbished venue for lunch and thought the food was delightful. <\/p>\n
