There is no setting better for after-work drinks than a London park in the sun. We’ve had a taste of what is to come with May’s scorchingly hot bank holiday — let’s gloss over last week’s rain — so now is the perfect time to prepare for early office exits and impromptu gatherings. Picky bits, cold drinks, royal park of choice: you know the drill. Gather similarly minded friends and make sure someone is bringing Le Bijou.
With a long summer of al fresco socials ahead of us — hopefully — you needn’t fall into the trap of single-use plastics or navigate the Central line with a wicker basket at 8am. No throwaway plates or cumbersome hampers here. Read on for our pick of chic, clever and lightweight picnic accessories to pack if you’re heading to a London park after a day in the office.
