From its humble beginnings in 1875 – the first tennis match here was<br />
watched by only 200 people – Wimbledon has gone on to become a<br />
globally-renowned sports event, drawing tens of thousands of spectators<br />
each year. This premier-class tournament is watched by every echelon<br />
of British society, including Her Majesty the Queen. Not even the rain can<br />
stop it now – the retractable roof over Centre Court means fans can watch<br />
the likes of Nadal, Federer, Murray and the Williams sisters in comfort and<br />
style, whatever the weather. To make the most of this experience, contact<br />
Johnny Perkins, who can advise you on how to organize a VIP visit.<br />

hospitality packages to suit the elite guest, featuring gourmet cuisine, fine<br />
champagnes and, of course, amazing views. From rubbing shoulders with<br />
motorsport legends in the Drivers’ Lounge, to entertaining guests in a private<br />
suite, every visitor can be assured of an experience they’ll never forget.<br />

Held annually in the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, the Chelsea<br />
Flower Show is a riot of color, scent and spectacular aesthetics. A showcase<br />
of individually-planted and tended gardens by horticulturalists both amateur<br />
and professional, this super-civilized event draws big names as well as<br />
garden enthusiasts. Among those seen wandering the walkways between the<br />
beautifully-crafted garden plots are cookery writer Nigella Lawson, actress<br />
Helen Mirren, Beatle Ringo Starr and designer Vivienne Westwood.<br />
