The resort was chosen as the best out of a number of options for the squad after Wiegman was left impressed by the “facilities and accommodation”.
There are 155 bedrooms on site, plus a 25-metre pool, tactics rooms, conditioning areas, a dedicated team of chefs and specialist security.
And when the Lionesses are afforded some down time there are 22 first-class tennis courts for them to play on.

“We have received a warm welcome from the staff already and have been impressed by the facilities and accommodation.
“It is important that our tournament base is a home from home for the squad and support team, and I have no doubt we will find that here.
“Confirming our base is another step towards what we all hope will be a memorable summer.”
The London resort is a perfect location for England’s second and third group games against Norway and Northern Ireland in Brighton and Southampton.
In the past The Lensbury have welcomed rugby teams, football coaches, and tennis stars to their facilities.
