What are you doing for the 'Diamond Jubilee'?

With June right round the corner, it’s time for the festivities to start for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee - marking 60 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and Time2Gossip has gone to the heart of the Jubilee Celebrations to bring you some key things to do and wear:

What to eat - Jubilee Afternoon Tea in the English Tea Rooms

This is the first time I have attended a Rocco Forte Hotel (a collection of 13 luxury hotels and resorts located in cultural destinations across Europe & The Middle East.) And it certainly won’t be the last - Brown's Hotel London part of the Rocco Forte Hotel group, is the oldest hotel in London - so full of heritage for this special occasion.

So start your celebrations with the Jubilee Afternoon Tea for two in the quintessentially British and charming English Tea Room.

When we arrived we got greeted by a glass of Champagne and then waded out way through a manu of 20 different types of tea (two of which are Brown’s own blend) I had the blackcurrant and hibiscus tea which was one of the best teas I have ever tasted!

We then got greeted with a three tier stand filled with regal pastries such as a Crown Jewels Macaroon, Battenberg cake, lemon posset teacup, pistachio cake and boozy trifle as well as the traditional offerings of sandwiches and yummy scones.

The price of Jubilee Afternoon Teas is £39.50 per person or £49.50 with a glass of Ruinart Brut Champagne. The special Jubilee themed afternoon tea runs from the 1^st to 10^th June in Mayfair, which is central to the excitement that will be surrounding the Jubilee. Brown’s also offer a jubilee accommodation package, Jubilee cocktails in The Donovan Bar and a diamond pedicure.
