The Palace is steeped in history, the tour offers the opportunity to marvel at both the stunning architecture and magnificence of the interior rooms and luxurious apartments.

Grovesnor House, situated in London's Mayfair, is world renowned for its service and style. Tea will be taken in the elegant and relaxed surroundings of the Park Room. A truly splendid mothers day gift which will make a real change from the traditional flowers or chocolates this mothers day!

If your mum prefers not to visit Kensington Palace, but would still love a gift of afternoon tea you could treat her to an afternoon at one of Marriott's top hotels situated in the heart of London. She will be able to choose from the splendour of The Grosvenor Hotel, the elegance of Marriott Country Hall or splendid Renaissance Chancery Court to enjoy her afternoon tea, freshly cut sandwiches and a selection of cakes and pastries.

Each of these hotels have been carefully selected to offer your mum and her guest an afternoon of luxury and relaxation in peaceful and luxurious surroundings. The perfect mother day present which mums of all ages will relish.

Alternatively, your mum might prefer to spend a few hours sipping and tasting a variety of different teas from around the world. This wonderful tea tasting and blending experience is led by master tea blender Alex Probyn.

The event comes to a close with your mum putting all of her newly learnt tea blending skills into practice by devising her every own blend of tea to take home with her.
