5. Round of Golf & Luxurious Lunch at the Regal Moor Park
Moor Park, set across 300 acres of mature woodland, provides one of the finest eighteen hole courses around. What’s more, it’s just a stone’s throw from London. The High Course here is very much the quintessential English woodland course – with a number of thrilling challenges.
It is set against the backdrop of the famous Moor Park mansion, a Grade I listed building dating from the seventeenth century. The mansion is stunning from the exterior but, quite simply, breathtaking inside. Lunch takes place in a grand dining room that overlooks the patio, replete with fountain, and sloping course.

3. Private Dining with Matching Wine & Champagne at Mosimann’s
How about dining in your own private room, specially designed by Montblanc, to enjoy four courses of culinary excellence hand-picked by the caterer of the 2011 Royal Wedding?
Yes, indeed, Anton Mosimann, Royal Warrant holder and the queen’s ‘Deputy Lieutenant of London’, has opened the doors to the most intimate room in his exclusive members’ club in the city of London. The four courses come with matching wine flights and welcome champagne.

2. Luxury Cigar & Drink Pairing Experience in London
It was Winston Churchill who told the visiting King of Saudi Arabia that “my rule of life prescribes as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and, if need be, during all meals.”
Whether or not the retired gentleman is a cigar aficionado, Montague on the Gardens is the ultimate cigar paradise in London. Choose a fine Cuban cigar and have it matched with a whiskey.
