Fuel up with picnics ...and limitless fizz
IF YOU’RE looking for refreshments, make a pit stop at The Biltmore in Mayfair’s Grosvenor Square, which is planning a barbecue on the terrace as well as a themed afternoon tea including coronation chicken and Victoria sponge. Prices, including weekend packages, are yet to be set (hilton.com).
Prefer a picnic? The Dilly has bespoke hampers to put on the back of their bicycles so you can head off to Green Park or Hyde Park to enjoy it. Then return to the grand hotel’s cool interiors, with an indoor pool, squash courts and spa as well as modern rooms. If you still want tea, it’s served on The Terrace, which also makes a great spot for dinner beneath the night sky. Three nights from June 2 from £1,104 for two. Picnics from £40pp (thedillylondon.com).
For a great buffet brunch, The Landmark London on Marylebone Road is just the place, with live music as well as limitless champagne. On June 4 it will be served on the Garden Terrace, overlooking the hotel’s iconic eight-storey glass atrium. Make sure you’re hungry – there will be everything from charcuterie to sushi as well as an area for desserts.
For £145pp you get two hours to hoover up as much food and wash it down with as many flutes of champagne as you can. Stay the night for an extra £450 per room (landmarklondon.co.uk).
