The Ritz "Monarchy and Matrimony" package

If you're thinking of visiting London during the Royal Wedding, you should most definitely consider the Ritz's Monarchy and Matrimony package. Priced from £1460 excluding VAT (20% methinks!) guests checking in on Thursday 28 April and Friday 29 April will receive two nights accommodation in a Louis XVI inspired room, fresh flower and fruit, champagne and a special wedding day brunch in the Ritz Restaurant while they watch live coverage of the event.

If you can't quite afford the Ritz's offer, or live close to or in London and have too much common sense to put yourself in the middle of the madness on the day...fear not! You can visit the Ritz anytime for afternoon tea, dinner or cocktails! Just remember the dress code or you'll be asked to leave immediately!!! It is worth at least a peak inside, the hotel features in numerous films and TV shows and was the site of Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday party.

And if a trip to London is not in your future, go rent Notting Hill...there are some lovely scenes shot inside (Julia Roberts plays an American actress staying there while she films in London) and Hugh Grant is forced to disguise himself as a bellhop to get in to visit her. Also, a hilarious appearance of Mischa Barton who was about 10 at the time and not yet on drugs and stuff ;)

William Thacker, not allowed inside!
