We found the London hotel with incredible views where celebs stay before events
We checked in to this popular central London hotel to see why it's so popular – with celebrities and 'regular' travellers alike – and discovered spacious rooms and amazing views First impressions when you enter London Hilton on Park Lane, on the edge of Hyde Park, are certainly grand ones, with a glitzy lobby filled with velvet sofas and human-sized bouquets of fresh flowers to greet you. Despite this clearly being a big corporate hotel (there was at least one conference going on when we stayed), the service is super friendly and personal, from the welcome at reception to the cute note from housekeeping on our pillow with the turn down. Lots of guests were obviously repeat visitors, and staff greeted them – and first-timers like us – like old friends. We're told Academy Award-winning actor Susan Sarandon recently stayed here, as did Maura Higgins to get ready before this year's TV BAFTAs. The rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane We were lucky enough to be put in the recently refurbished Executive Park Lane Suite, a huge space on the 25th floor featuring a lounge area, separate bedroom and dressing room, and incredible views out over Hyde Park, with the Serpentine twinkling in the middle. We were particularly taken by the window seat and super-comfy bed, and the large marble bathroom with two sinks, separate bath and shower, and Molton Brown toiletries. If your budget stretches to it, it's a real luxury to have so much space in the city centre, and feels like London's version of a luxury apartment in New York City, overlooking Central Park. One big perk for those staying in an Executive Room or any of the 56 suites is access to the hotel's Executive Lounge, where breakfast is served in the mornings, and drinks and snacks between 5pm-7pm in the evenings – and there's a wide selection, with no limits on the wines, beers, soft drinks and snacks. You could basically dine out here if you so wished. The food atLondon Hilton on Park Lane Instead, however, we headed downstairs for dinner at the hotel's Park Corner Brasserie, a modern British eatery serving elevated classics. Although not a huge number of options for vegetarians, we loved our cabbage and sweetcorn frittata, and there were loads of grill dishes to choose from. Our personal highlight came at the end of the meal with a trio of creme brulées, each one more delicious than the last. How much does it cost to stay atLondon Hilton on Park Lane? Rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane start from £459 for a Twin Guest Room. For a stay that costs a little less, take a look at Citizen M's four London hotels, which start from £208.80 per night, or browse hundreds of other options on

Mr Tea fraudster to stew in jail after police bag their man
Tam O'Braan exuded raffish charm as he courted Country Life, the respected weekly magazine that has twice employed the King, then the Prince of Wales, as its guest editor. 'He claimed he rowed a canoe along the length of the Amazon and spent four years exploring South America,' one former staff member recalled. 'Tam also said he survived being bitten by a highly venomous spider and went on to be shot at by soldiers as he neared the border of Thailand and Myanmar on another expedition. 'He insisted it was the ideal preparation for launching Scotland's first tea plantation.' 'All this derring-do was very exciting but there was definitely a niggling feeling that it was all too good to be true.' Two years earlier, in 2015, O'Braan appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live where he told the host Nicky Campbell that his Dalreoch White tea, grown on the banks of the Tay, had been crowned the best in the world. Choking back tears he claimed he would be unable to accept the most esteemed prize at the Salon du Thé awards in Paris as his wife was about to give birth to twins. 'I suppose you could call me Mr Tea, after winning such a major award,' he crowed, after composing himself. O'Braan, known for his bespoke tweed suits, highly polished brogues and extraordinary CV, went on to assert that his homegrown brew was a personal favourite of Queen Elizabeth. However, there was no trophy, lavish awards ceremony overlooking the River Seine or a royal seal of approval. The accolade, the event and the monarch's endorsement were dreamt up by the self-styled 'adventurer, inventor, scientist and entrepreneur'. Caught up by the romance of Scottish tea, rather than whisky, being the toast of the world, no one apparently bothered to verify his outlandish claims. As such, his top blends went on to sell for £35 for a 15g tin at Fortnum & Mason's flagship store in Piccadilly, London. He continued to make a series of remarkable assertions, including that he served with both the British and Irish armed forces, played professional rugby, was headhunted by President Obama to work on an experimental agricultural project and invented the now ubiquitous 'bag for life' shopping carrier while working for Waitrose in the 1990s. This week, however, O'Braan, 55, was sentenced — under his real name of Thomas Robinson — to three-and-a-half years imprisonment after his abundant crop of fantasies and falsehoods was finally exposed and scythed down. He hoodwinked the owners of some of the country's most famed hotels, such as The Dorchester in London and Edinburgh's Balmoral Hotel, as well as genuine tea growers, journalists and business owners while securing more than £550,000 through fraud. 'This was a scheme to deceive, a scheme to make money on the basis of lies,' Joanne Ritchie, for the prosecution, told him. 'You went as far as to make up these elaborate lies so you appeared to be a man of integrity.' Addressing jurors directly at Stirling sheriff court, Ritchie added: 'This man has lied to every single witness who encountered him. But more than that, he lied to the public at large.' Trading as The Wee Tea Plantation, Robinson insisted his wares — Highland Green, Silver Needles and Scottish Antlers — were grown in Perthshire and Dumfries and Galloway. However, he actually ordered vast quantities of loose leaf tea from China, Malawi and Sri Lanka, repackaged it and sold it as 'Scottish tea'. The overseas produce was then sold for 100 times its cost by dint of its rare north European provenance. Robinson disguised the fraud by getting the leaves delivered to a mailbox address in Glasgow registered to 'Thomas James Consultants', while his suppliers were ordered to sign non-disclosure agreements. Between 2015 and 2018 Robinson also supplied more than 22,000 'Scottish tea plants' to a dozen other growers at a cost of £12.50 each. They actually received plants sourced, at a price of €3 each, from an Italian nursery. Robinson told the Royal Horticultural Society he had invented a 'special biodegradable polymer' that allowed tea cultivation to thrive in the temperate Scottish climate. When challenged to demonstrate it he briefly brandished what appeared to be an ordinary supermarket-issue black bin liner. By 2017 Perth and Kinross council & Food Standards Scotland, a government agency, launched after the horsemeat scandal, were alerted and began to investigate. Robinson told investigators, confronted by largely empty fields, that the vast majority of his plants had been stolen overnight by thieves and insisted the paperwork that could verify his claims had been destroyed in a flood. In court Robinson insisted he had recently 'tripped over an electrical wire and fell into the basement of a castle', leaving him in poor health and unable to remember many events. As he was led away in handcuffs after being unanimously found guilty, Robinson continued to protest his innocence, bleating: 'My life's work will stand in the history of tea.' Ron McNaughton, a former police detective who is head of the Scottish Food Crime & Incidents Unit, insisted Robinson was an inveterate liar who deserved little sympathy. 'His actions caused real financial and reputational harm to individuals, businesses and the developing sector of genuine Scottish tea producers,' he said. The Balmoral Hotel, whose guests have included Dwight D Eisenhower, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Mick Jagger, Bill Clinton and JK Rowling, has issued a public apology for inadvertently serving fake Scottish tea. 'To have been deceived in such a calculated manner left us all profoundly disappointed and embarrassed,' Andrew McPherson, its general manager, said. 'I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to anyone affected by this tea incident, particularly our loyal guests who trusted in the authenticity and quality of our offerings.'
