If you’re looking for an experience that will get your adrenaline pumping, then look no further than the triple whammy. Flying along a zip wire, abseiling into the ‘Abyss’ and parachute simulators, this experience has everything covered. Once you’re into your safety harness it's time for the fun to begin. This isn’t for the faint hearted!
Your experience will begin by being kitted out in the safety harness. Then it's off to your first activity, the 250ft indoor zip wire. Climb the long and winding walkway into the rafters to the 250ft indoor zip wire, six stories above the ground. The jumpmaster will attach you and then as you push off take a look below and you'll see the restaurant, friends and family below you as you travel at 30mph before safely entering the landing zone.
Next it's off to climb 143 steps to the abseil zone. A trained instructor will instruct you how to descend and then it's up to you to abseil into the Abyss from 150ft down into the chasm that is the face of steel and the dark and gloomy Abyss.
Last but definitely not least, with your heart pounding, climb the 143 steps again for the final buzz on the 150ft drop. You will have sensory overload as you plummet to the ground before landing safely on terra firma.

These days taking tea as a light afternoon meal has become much more accessible, without losing a crumb of its wonderful charm.
The Palm Court at Sheraton in Park Lane, London, is Mayfair’s premium meeting place. Perfectly located in the heart of the city and offering a glimpse into the magic and history of the roaring 20’s with stunning Art Deco features setting the scene.

Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly, LondonTzarina from Marketing, August 2022 |
What did you get up to?
My Mum and I went to the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel for our Champagne Afternoon Tea. The staff were very welcoming upon arrival, promptly seating us and soon after we were each poured a glass of refreshing Moet and Chandon Champagne. We were given the choice of a non-vegetarian or vegetarian Afternoon tea and asked to select a tea, which took some time to decide as there were over 20 different types! I went for the Wild Cherry flavour which was lovely.
We were served a Platinum Jubilee themed Afternoon Tea in this adorable cage of tiered plates, which had a selection of delicious sandwiches, scones & different mini cakes. We enjoyed every part of the Afternoon Tea and didn’t leave a crumb behind!
What did you enjoy the most?
Getting to share this experience and spend time with my Mum was very special. One of our experience highlights were the scones – they were still warm by the time we ate them and with the preserves & clotted cream, it was a very tasty combination. I also enjoyed the Platinum Jubilee theme of the Afternoon Tea because it added a unique feel to the experience. The restaurant was very sophisticated and provided a very pleasant atmosphere to enjoy our Afternoon Tea. The Hotel itself was very easy to get to from Kings Cross– approximately 15-20 minutes in total, allowing for underground travel & walking time.
1. Make sure you leave plenty of stomach room beforehand as we were so full afterwards!
2. If you have time, why not finish off your Afternoon Tea with a Grand Cocktail! We didn’t get to try them but they sound intriguing!
3. Buckingham Palace is an approximate 10-minute walk away from the hotel, so why not do a spot of sight-seeing!
