HUMPHREYS OF HENLEY

CONCIERGE AT IT’S FINEST

Humphreys of Henley is the only luxury concierge service designing and delivering bespoke experiences from this special part of Oxfordshire.

Proudly based in Henley-on-Thames, we take inspiration and inf luence from its rich heritage and traditional values. Humphreys of Henley enables guests to optimise every moment that they spend here. We not only provide a complete luxury concierge service booking hotels, restaurants, cars etc, we create bespoke experiences focusing on the passions of our guests.

Experiencing, not just visiting, a destination is an increasing demand from visitors of all ages. We want to go behind the scenes, understand a little of what life is like and have an ‘access all areas’ pass usually reserved for well-connected and well-heeled residents.

Humphreys of Henley delivers that ‘access all areas’ pass to a stunning part of the English countryside that has it all: history; celebrity; culture; Olympic legends; private islands; fine dining and the villages that play host to the deadliest and most loved English county, Midsomer.

I was inspired to launch Humphreys of Henley by my love of this corner of Oxfordshire and my desire to share the hidden wonders that are normally missed by visitors. My team and I look forward to creating your memorable experience for you and welcoming you to our favourite place in the world.

HUMPHREYS OF HENLEY

Plan to immerse yourself in the glamour, the emotion and the beauty of Downton Abbey in this truly special experience. In your visit to the stunning Highclere Castle, home of the aristocratic Crawley family, and the picturesque Downton Village you will feel as though you are walking the halls of Downton and following in the footsteps of the daily life of the servants.

The stories of the masters and mistresses of Cliveden House are no less intriguing, but they truly happened. The Profumo scandal that nearly toppled a government originated at the Cliveden swimming pool and the house has played host to virtually every British monarch since George I.

Your private tour will enable you to join the notable guest list: from Charlie Chaplin to Winston Churchill, and President Roosevelt to George Bernard Shaw….the walls hold many secrets.
