What’s On: Jubilee Week

If you’re in London, and even if you’re not, Jubilee festivities are inevitable and will evidently be quiet enjoyable, we hope. Here are our top choices for what’s going on around town:

EAT – Afternoon Tea

PRÊT-À-PORTEA – The Royal Collection, (May 29 – June 9, £39-£55) To mark the Jubilee, The Berkeley’s biscuits, fancies and choux buns have been transformed to resemble the most memorable hats worn by the Royal Family – served with champagne – delicious day ouy

GO – To A Concert

BBC Concert at Buckingham Palace, (June 4, £17.50) Ticket holders are given a specific time to arrive at the palace and will receive a tour of the State Apartments on their way to their seats to see the likes of Annie Lennox, Stevie Wonder, Madness, Cliff Richard, Shirley Bassey, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran and JLS. Should be a treat to the ears and a great way to spend one’s Monday evening

SEE – Art and Images

NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY – The Queen: Art and Image (Until October 21, £6.60) Portraits of the Queen ranging from official pantings and photographs to responses from contemporary artists including Cecil Beaton, Lucian Freud, Andy Warhol, Annie Leibovitz, Gilbert and George, and Gerhard Richter.
