The Grove, Watford


The Grove is a large hotel in Hertfordshire, England, with a 300–acre (1.2 km²) private park next to the River Gade and the Grand Union Canal. It touches on its north-west corner the M25 motorway and remains a small part in Watford (St Luke) (Listeni/ˈwɒtfəd/).

Since 2006 it has hosted the WGC-American Express Championship, the G20 London summit and the 2013 Bilderberg Conference.

It was remodelled by various architects including Surveyor of the King's Works, Robert Taylor on the site of a medieval manor house as a home for the Earls of Clarendon, second creation, the Villiers family who downsized their estates to one they have long held at Swanmore, Hampshire following the 1914 increase of estate duty.
