Dukes London is a sophisticated British hotel, hidden discreetly away in St James and with a fascinating history. Frequented by James Bond author Ian Fleming as well as musicians and royalty it was awarded “AA London Hotel of the Year” and “England’s Leading Classic Hotel” at the World Travel Awards.
Their service is second to none and we were delighted to be invited to experience their butler’s service champagne picnic in the park. Arriving at the quiet courtyard near Green Park where Dukes is located, we had a look around before heading off for our picnic. As you can see, Sean Connery also made a visit to Dukes Bar – their martini is said to be the inspiration behind the classic line “shaken, not stirred“.

The Cognac and Cigar Garden is a welcome outdoor retreat..The post Dukes London Champagne Picnic in the Park appeared first on Luxury Columnist.
