The Experience

Step into a world of grandeur, royalty and enjoy a rather fabulous afternoon out with this gift experience. 

Your day begins at Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of His Majesty The King and one of the last working royal palaces in the world. Each summer, the Palace opens its doors to reveal breathtaking State Rooms, used for ceremonial occasions and entertaining visiting dignitaries. It’s a rare chance to wander through the same rooms where history has unfolded, and where some of the world’s most notable guests have stood.

Expect to be wowed by masterpieces from the Royal Collection, including works by Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck, along with ornate Sèvres porcelain and exquisitely crafted furniture. You’ll explore rooms such as the elegant Blue Drawing Room, the impressive State Dining Room, and the iconic Throne Room, famously used for official royal photographs, including those from the wedding of Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince and Princess of Wales.

Once you’ve had your fill of royal splendour, it’s time to crown the day with a treat worthy of the occasion. A short stroll brings you to The Clermont, Charing Cross, where a classic afternoon tea for two awaits in its beautifully restored lounge. Think delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones piled high with clotted cream and jam, and handcrafted pastries that look almost too pretty to eat. Pair it with a premium loose-leaf tea, or make it extra celebratory with a glass of Champagne.

Whether you’re gifting this for a birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day or simply to spoil someone who deserves a truly memorable day out, this pairing of royal heritage and luxurious afternoon tea creates a perfect London experience.

Sandwich selection served with freshly baked plain and sultana scones, accompanied with fruit preserves and clotted cream.
