Park with Picnic tables! Sounds easy..

Isn't so easy.

I have a long time to find one because I need one for my 16th bday, which is September next year

I'm having an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party and I am determined to have it in a nice park, and I don't want to have it as a picnic on the ground I want it on a table!
I also don't want it to be in one of those areas where they're all crowded together on concrete, cus I wouldn't really like to have random people eating lunch a metre away from my party haha! Plus I don't think they'd like it that much either. But if the place is awesome enough I'm sure I can forget this minor detail.

I live in the borough of Hillingdon, which is in Middlesex, but I can also travel to Central London.
Someone suggested Kensington Gardens to me, but I really don't fancy going all the way there just to check if there are picnic benches.
Any of you been there and can remember if they do have them?

Any other suggestions round the areas mentioned?

I have tried online, but unsurprisingly, websites don't really tend to list whether they have picnic benches..
P.S
Ehehe I've bought the fabric for my costume, I'm scared to make it incase I mess up

I had an Alice birthday party for my 18th!
But mine was in my basement..
Spent ages decorating and making cute cakes and biscuits =)
But yeh, I don't know the area so I'm not much help..

I have drawn sketches of the costumes and written lists of stuff I want to do/eat
It's so fun planning such a cute party idea ehehe

If I find somewhere in London I might also go to Madame Tussauds afterwards, with whoever is willing to pay for themselves because I'm poor.

Last night i couldn't remember whether I was 14 or 15

Maybe rent some tables and go to the park early to set them up?

maybe go on an LJ community like "offthehighstreet" and make a post asking if they know. its a uk only community and a good few of them live down your way so it might be worth asking.

on the websites, just keep an eye out for "picnic areas". may sound obvious but just in case. you could always email the parks people and see if they reply.

maybe not have em outside? what if you get rained on and it ruins your 16th birthday?

That's a fair point..September in the U.K is not noted for it's nice weather..

any month in the UK is not noted for it's nice weather.

summer 2007... summer? Bloody hell i though it was january. ¬¬

yup, yet november, few days ago; it was nice!

maybe look for somewhere sheltered or have it in your garden on the grass but think of a way you could maybe put up tarpaulins or something if it rains?

thanks I'll try that LJ
I'm not sure about the rain issue, I might rely on the weather forecast.

Edit: Can I have a link, I can't seem to find it and it seems LJ has moved its community search

I had my tea party in my basement..
But then mine was at night.
And there was wine in our tea cups.
So don't listen to me..

I had a tea party with my girls.
But mine was in my front room.
and we had salmon and cream cheese and tuna and marie rose sauce sarnies.

and it was posh!
