Judy Garland had her own bed shipped from Hollywood to 190 Queen's Gate and left it in the room that still carries her name. The Gore has taken guests since 1892, in two townhouses William Douglas built on land the Great Exhibition commissioners held, the same estate that produced the Albert Hall and the V&A. William Kirby fitted those houses out that year with a hydraulic lift and carriages at the door, and in 1968 the Rolling Stones launched Beggars Banquet in the bar downstairs.
- 50 rooms
