Lilibet the cat came to live at the Lanesborough this summer. She is a Siberian Forest Cat which means she has very fluffy fur, but is hypoallergenic. The cat committee is the small team of cat-loving employees at The Lanesborough who have kindly volunteered to look after Lilibet and post only the most flattering photos of her on the hotel's Instagram.
