HOME TO LEGENDS, LONDON'S MOST ANTICIPATED ADDRESS
Raffles London is located in what was the Old War Office building, known today as The OWO. It was once home to legends such as Sir Winston Churchill and Lord Haldane. Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, was a regular visitor to the building and many scenes from the 007 movies have been filmed on location here. The OWO is associated with spies and espionage, as MI5 and MI6 had operations here during the 20th century. Located in the heart of Whitehall, the building has been meticulously restored and is now home to Raffles London at The OWO.

Home to Legends
Designed by British architect William Young, the War Office was built on the site of the Palace of Whitehall – home for centuries to English monarchs, including King Henry VIII. Built in the Baroque style, the landmark building was completed in 1906 and stood as silent witness to world-shaping events of the twentieth century. Influential political and military leaders, including Winston Churchill, Lord Haldane and T. E. Lawrence walked these corridors of power, while the Grade II* listed building inspired Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, and has featured in numerous Bond films. Today, the legacies of the Old War Office’s iconic cast of characters continue in the names of the suites and rooms of The OWO. The story continues.
