King Haakon VII met the 314 Norwegian volunteers at the Royal Hotel in Upper Woburn Place. This hotel is no longer standing, it was demolished in 1946, however, the new hotel in its place called the 'Royal National Hotel' still bears a basement that is probably the same space and design as the old one. The 314 volunteers are seen marching along Upper Woburn Place from Southampton Row towards Euston station.
