London-Luxe BBQ All Summer Long at 51 Buckingham Gate

Where: 51 Buckingham Gate, London, United Kingdom, SW1E 6AF

Summer finally arrived in London this weekend (and we mean actual heat; 27 degrees, or 80F) — which means barbecues are in order (as well as stripping off and hitting the parks).

Those who are too gourmet/lazy to do a bit of grilling themselves, though — and to be fair, it's hard for the gardenless in the city — should mosey down to 51 Buckingham Gate (Taj’s London pad which, as the name suggests, is just around the corner from Buckingham Palace).

They’ve installed a huge BBQ in their courtyard 'round the side, which will, weather permitting, be dishing out BBQ grub every night until September 16th. And it's no scraggy bun-fest either; these meals are being planned by the hotel's Michelin-starred chef Sriram Ayur.

Allergic to British Hotels? Try the Hypoallergenic Kind

Where: 51 Buckingham Gate, London, United Kingdom, SW1E 6AF

OK, so we're on the look out for good British Hotels, because so far there are lots of stories of bad British hotels. Turns out, larger, longer stay British hotels may be worthy of consideration. The five star London hotel, 51 Buckingham Gate not only provides apartment style living with a dedicated concierge, but also gives guests with allergies a whole lot more than Kleenex.

They are sure living up to their 2004 status of "Considerate Hotel of the Year" award by teaming up with Allersafe. They are now the first UK hotel to offer the Healthy Sleep System which uses anti-allergy fiber, Amicore Pure for linens.

It doesn't stop at the sheets, however.

The comfort and well-being of our guests is of utmost importance to us," says Sarah Kassem, head of housekeeping at 51 Buckingham Gate. We have many facilities in place to cater for guests who may suffer food allergies and we operate a chemical-free spa; the introduction of the Allersafe system completes the offering.

Even if you have never broken out in hives, had asthma, or eczema, this is a British hotel that could actually be worth checking into!
