Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club
Event: Wimbledon
Date: June 22nd until July 5th
Wimbledon is a tournament which needs little, if any, introduction.
Since 1877, it has been the theatre in which tennis' greatest names have written their names in the history books, with Bjorn Borg, Steffi Graf, Fred Perry, Billie-Jean King and Boris Becker all carving their legends on its lush green turf.
Last year witnessed one of the greatest finals in living memory, with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal going toe-to-toe for hours in a bid to secure the biggest prize in tennis, with Nadal eventually seeing off the then world number one.
The champion will be returning this year, ready to defend his title against a wave of new talent, plus some familiar old foes.
It is not just the men's competition which visitors can look forward to, as the indefatigable Williams sisters will be looking to continue their dominance on the women's side.
Things will be difficult, though, with hotshots including Ana Ivanovic and Dinara Safina ready to stake their claim as female tennis' number one.
As ever, Wimbledon will an epic event, with breathtaking displays of skill, pace and power.
After a day of action, visitors will need somewhere to rest and prepare for the next day.
The luxury London hotel the Egerton House is that place.
Female travellers who opt for the Best Dressed by Kate Starkey package can look forward to a welcome glass of champagne on arrival, a full English breakfast before heading to centre court and a custom-made shift-dress designed from a range of fabrics and styles.
