London, England (6/2011) --This summer, The Langham, London has created a luxury afternoon tea picnic hamper. Guests can take advantage of the hotel's excellent location, just a few minutes walk from Regent's Park and take afternoon tea for two in a traditional wicker hamper, complete with a picnic rug.
Palm Court, the hotel's dazzling centerpiece, is renowned as the birthplace of the afternoon tea tradition, serving tea to the cream of London since The Langham opened in 1865 as Europe's first 'Grand Hotel'. The origins of the picnic can also be traced back to the 19th century when it became the vogue for Victorians to enjoy London's parks with an elegant meal eaten outdoors.
The Langham picnic hamper will offer guests a chance to sample the award- winning afternoon tea in the nearby Regent's Park, as well as the option of taking it to the many outdoor events of the British summer social season or shipping it home!
The Palm Court Afternoon Tea Hamper includes:
v A selection of speciality sandwiches including: poached Scottish salmon and cucumber; Coronation chicken; cream cheese with piccalilli;
v Home-baked scones with Champagne soaked raisins;
