Tandem Hang Gliding
Mother nature may not have given us wings, but science has given us hang gliders instead. This experience lets you fly like a bird. After a full briefing, your BHPA-qualified instructor will introduce you to the tandem glider: a rigid-winged ATOS VX, specifically designed for tandem flight and one of the best gliders in the world. You'll be shown how to get into to the harness and once secured, you and your instructor will be towed into the air behind a microlight tug. Once you're at a height of around 2,000ft the rope is released, the microlight pulls away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents above the beautiful Essex countryside, with incredible views of the earth and the sky. It really will take your breath away. One-day membership of the BHPA (British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association) is also included.

Kensington Palace Tour and Tea at Grosvenor House for Two
Your experience includes entrance to Kensington Palace. Originally a private country house, the building was acquired by William III and Mary II in 1689 and was adapted for royal residence by Sir Christopher Wren. For the next 70 years the palace played host to the courts of William and Mary, Queen Anne, George I and George II. In the 19th century Kensington was the birthplace and childhood home of Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) and Princess Diana occupied apartments in the north-west part of the palace from 1981 to 1997. Pick up an audio headset for your self-guided tour of the palace and you can follow that with tea at Grosvenor House. First opened in 1928, this five star luxury hotel in Mayfair known for its exceptional service and style is often frequented by royalty, celebrities and business leaders. In the relaxed and elegant surroundings of the Park Room, a selection of tea is served along with traditional sandwiches, freshly baked scones and classic pastries.

Wimbledon Tour for Two
We can't all be Wimbledon champs, but with this experience you can at least get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the revered All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, following in the footsteps of tennis legends like Becker, Sampras, Navratilova and Sue Barker. You'll see the hallowed Wimbledon turf, BBC studios and press interview room (scene of many a tense moment), roof gardens, underground walkway to Court 1, the Millennium Building and the gorgeous water gardens with their amazing views over London. Lunch is served up within the Number One Court complex and then you'll explore the new state-of-the-art Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. It has interactive exhibits, including a 200-degree cinema and is packed with tennis memorabilia including the Wimbledon champions' trophies. End your day in true Wimbledon style with strawberries and champagne.
