The Stafford London hosts Amanda Wakeley & Rachel Trevor-Morgan Pre-Ascot Fashion Show

The Stafford London is perhaps one of London’s best kept secrets. Located at St James’s Place right next to Green Park, it is hidden away on a road you are not very likely to end up on unless you are specifically going there. I may never have discovered this little treasure had I not been approached by a PR agency a few days ago, and I am truly delighted to have become acquainted with the place! The Stafford London is 5-star luxury hotel situated inside the former London residence of Lord and Lady Lyttelton, described as a blend of Victorian grandeur and modern comfort. It truly is magnificent and the staff are very welcoming.

The hotel celebrated the start of the Royal Ascot by partnering with fashion designer Amanda Wakeley and milliner Rachel Trevor-Morgan to put on a fashion show, and kindly invited me to have Afternoon Tea and watch it. Her Majesty The Queen is known to be a big fan of Rachel’s hats and has worn them since 2006 on a number of high profile occasions. This year has been a rather remarkable one for Rachel, for she has been granted The Royal Warrant of Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen.

Guests in attendance included members of the British Fashion Council, the Kensington and Chelsea Women’s Club and the Mayfair and St. James’s Association. Both designers showcased this season’s collections ahead of Royal Ascot, taking place from 17 June until 21 June 2014.

We were treated to the recently launched Fusion Herb Afternoon Tea using herbs grown in the hotel’s very own kitchen garden. The innovative afternoon tea designed by head chef, Carlos Martinez, includes honey, lavender and rosemary scones, basil and strawberry panna cotta and white chocolate and coriander parcels. Guests who cannot eat gluten products will be pleased to know it offers gluten-free Afternoon Tea without compromising on quantity and quality!
