Summer is upon us. Pack a hamper and hit the park with luxury accessories from Aspinal of London and Fortnum’s.

There’s no restaurant quite like the great outdoors. Whether that’s one of London’s incredible green spaces — from Hyde Park to Hampstead Heath — or the glory of the English countryside, nothing sharpens the appetite like eating truly al fresco with a wicker on a lawn. Let the Royal Exchange furnish you with all the equipment you need to get the best out of this proper summer pastime.

Aspinal Of London is a brand for the British summertime, and its collection of picnic-perfect accessories spotlights the label’s elevated craftsmanship — with a whimsical, nostalgic mood. Like the luxurious Picnic Blanket Collection with “elegant shades of pistachio and capri blue, creating a timeless aesthetic for countryside retreats. Whether spread out on lush grass or draped over your shoulders on a crisp afternoon, this piece is an essential companion for outdoor leisure.”

Perfectly proportioned for a party of four, Fortnum’s Four-Person Canvas Backpack is packed with all the picnicware essentials for an open-air feast. Inside this fully insulated bag you’ll find four enamel plates, four glasses, four mugs, two cutlery rolls, cotton napkins, a salt and pepper grinder, a cheese knife and board and, most importantly, a waiter’s friend corkscrew to get sipping on your favourite tipples. All you need to do is fill it and head to the great outdoors!

Acai Berry is the perfect picnic partner. Grab an acai bowl from the brand’s new summer menu, or create your own smoothie or juice. Packed with antioxidants and with plenty of fresh fruit to choose from as topping, it’s a great healthy choice that can add colour to any picnic spread. Add protein powder or a nut butter to give you all the energy needed for the great outdoors.
