Picnic and Pimms at Lancaster London for Royal Ascot

Lancaster London has the Pimms on ice, ready to celebrate Royal Ascot this year.

The quintessential drink of the summer will be served throughout the hotel during Royal Ascot from 17 until 21 June 2014, priced at £9.50 per glass.

Royal Ascot allows for picnics to be brought into the racecourse, so the hotel has created a special hamper, priced at £25, which includes sandwiches, quiches, crudités with dips, crisps, strawberries and cream, water and desserts.

If you are watching the races from the big screens around London then the picnic can be enjoyed in Hyde Park, only moments away, or in the Lounge Bar should the unpredictable British summer weather strike.

Lancaster London is also offering a Summer Days Package, from £176 per night, which includes a stay in a Superior Room with breakfast, plus a picnic for two from 17 until 24 June 2014.

Lancaster London enjoys a privileged position in central London opposite Hyde Park. Heathrow Airport is a 20 minute journey on the Heathrow Express from the nearby Paddington Railway Station, simplifying access for international guests.
