The Queen's upcoming Diamond Jubilee holds potential business benefits for venues that are able to serve the heightened demand, making investments in cafe furniture and hotel furniture a wise move for those operating in the capital.
Hotel furniture might be a particularly wise investment for the very limited number of venues along the river route of the Jubilee flotilla - of which, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, there are only about ten.
For these, particularly those with a river view, the purchase of new hotel furniture could help to turn double rooms into family rooms for the period surrounding the Diamond Jubilee, to eke out a little extra in earnings while also catering for the increase in demand.
As PwC's head of hospitality and leisure research Liz Hall says, hotels "can't store the product like other sectors - an empty room equals one night of lost revenue".
Meanwhile, cafe furniture might be worth upgrading or adding to, as PwC expects to see an increase in people eating out during the Jubilee period, and particularly over the long weekend.
Christine Cross, chief retail adviser to PwC, says sales of eat-at-home food "will be countered by those who choose to eat out, so food retailers are not banking on as big a lift as for the World Cup or other major stay-at-home events".
