When Harry met Megan: Windsor and the Royal Wedding 2018

It’s not every year that the there is one big Royal event, let alone two. That makes 2018 a very special time to be visiting London and the UK:

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate) are due their third child any day and HRH Prince Henry of Wales (Harry) and Ms. Megan Markle are getting married!

There is always a sense of new beginnings in the air during Spring time. How wonderful then to know that a new generation is joining the Royal family this month. There is much excitement to see who will be joining HRH Prince George and his sister HRH Princess Charlotte:

In an ever changing world it is nice to think of the Royal Family as an example of what it means to be a traditional united family in the 21st century. HRH Prince William is a member of the House of Windsor, and he along with his family will be attending the wedding of his brother HRH Prince Harry and Ms. Megan Markle on the 19th of May 2018.

Valentines Day in London – How to be Romantic (2018 Style)

Ladies and gentlemen (but mainly gentlemen!) let’s face it, most of us leave Valentines preparations to the very last minute.

If a late dash for a box of chocolates and a bunch of red roses on the night before the 14th of February sounds too familiar, then read on to learn how to surprise your loved one and make this year the best Valentine’s Day ever:

Here are our top tips to bring out the Romantic in you (2018 Style):

1. The Chocolate Hotel:

They say chocolate is one of the best aphrodisiacs. So its’ time to ditch that old box of chocolates trick and go all out – spend the night at a chocolate themed room and earn big romance points.

Best served with: Champagne while Barry White’s ” I’m Gonna Love You Just a little Bit More” plays in the background. The possibilities are endless!

 

2. The London Eye:

A private capsule for two, soaring over the London skyline – what could be more perfect? No wonder over 7000 people have proposed on the London Eye.

Best served with: The London Sunset as your backdrop. Who said Romance was dead?

 

 

3. Romantic Tours for 2:

February is the month of love and London Magical Tours’ romance themed tours are a big highlight of the calendar.

The London Evening Tour takes on a special romantic twist: as part of our London VIP Tours, this private visit travelling in style with a professional tour guide and chauffeur includes the best romantic highlights of London and the option to have the above mentioned experiences such as the London Eye and chocolates all pre-booked for you.
