It is still working.
July 4-7th came up at £35 per night with £105 total.
Thanks rcs85551 for the 3 night tip ^
SPG gave me confirmation that I have printed, It appears under my reservations on my SPG account and I have a confirmation email from the Lanseborough.

It should be kept in mind that the Lanesborough, while a St. Regis property, does not participate in SPG so stays will not accrue starpoints nor elite tier credit. SPG status will not grant you any upgrades; upgrades, even through Virtuoso and formerly Leading Hotels of the World were extremely tough to get.
However, a £35 a night rate for this property is literally robbery!! One cannot even stay at a Holiday Inn in Central London for that price, save perhaps, through Priceline.....

I booked for the same nights as you CT-UK. Why not ! I'm in London, but could do with the services of a Butler for a couple of days !
Also - if people are looking for a weekend, I got 18-21 August as well.
The free bottle of Champagne is probably worth more than one room night ....

UK contract law on these things is clear, but the internet equivalent is opaque.
A retailer has the right not to accept your order if there is a pricing mistake. For example, if a press ad for a car prices it wrongly, they can legally refuse to accept your order when you walk in to buy one.
However, arguably, when the Starwood website accepted your reservation then it had accepted your order. It cannot now wriggle out of it unless the T&C of the booking give it the right to unilaterally cancel your booking.
However (again) various test cases with website pricing errors seem to have decided that companies can get out of fulfilling your order because a human being has not been involved in accepting the order.
We shall see. My gut feeling is they may try to wriggle out of it because, if not, they are lumbered with it all Summer. Its not the same as an airline making a pricing mistake on one day, which they can get over and done with quickly. The airport transfers are also a good reason to cancel the rooms.
