In 2017 and 2023, when they played the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans during the NFL’s crossover to the UK, The Baltimore Ravens most important staff called The Athenaeum their home in London.

Cheerleaders, band members and other key members of the staff, benefitted immensely from The Athenaeum’s central, Mayfair location. A location that allowed them to check out all the major London sites in style, just a-hop-skip-and-a-jump from the hotel, during nights off on the tour.

What we loved most was how they travelled in style when they arrived. Check out their awesome ride!
