If You're Going to London

The capital is sure to be booming on the day of the wedding. Pub hours will be extended to 1 a.m. on both Friday, 18 May, and Saturday, 19 May (in London and throughout the UK), and a handful will be hosting viewing parties of the royal vows.

The Gun in Canary Wharf will be hosting a royal wedding party starting at 11 a.m., with prosecco and Pimm's flowing (they've also got a new brunch menu, if you're looking for a bit more sustenance).

The Water Poet in Spitalfields will also be serving up a "Right Royal Wedding Brunch". You can grab a main dish, dessert, and a cocktail (like the Ginger Groom or Blushing Bride, because of course) for just £17. Book your table in advance, as this spot's sure to fill up fast.

On the flipside, if you'd prefer a spot of tea to free-flowing booze, give a royal wedding-themed teas a try:

From now until 31 May, you can tuck into the Queen's favourite chocolate ganache (among other delectable treats) at The Savoy's Royal Afternoon Tea. They've even mixed up a new cocktail, "The Royal Wedding", in honour of the soon-to-be newlyweds.

Anna's Afternoon Tea at the Park Room of Grosvenor House has a series of dishes inspired by Harry and Meghan as well, including The Invictus and The LA Special (also on offer until the end of May).

For a truly formal affair, make your way to ONE Marylebone Church for "The Official Royal Wedding Party," where festivities are scheduled throughout the day. His Majesty's Party Daytime Festival — with live footage of the wedding, corsage-making, and a variety of brunch cocktails on-tap — will run from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. (tickets are £25 a head), followed by The Royal Wedding Party Evening Reception from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. — complete with champagne, a string quartet, and "Meghan Markle's favourite American foods" (tickets are £30).
