Where To Pay Condolences To The Queen In Miami

 
The Queen has passed away, ushering in 10 days of mourning paired with pomp and circumstance. Even if you are not British, many people from around the world are looking to pay their respects and offer condolences. Where can you go in Miami if you would like to do so without booking a quick flight to the other side of the pond?

The Official Book of Condolences

If you would like to sign the official book of condolences in person, it will be available at the British Consulate at 1001 Brickell Bay Drive. The book will be open in the lobby between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm starting today and going through Friday.

There is an online version that can be signed virtually on the royal website, but the Consulate is the place to go in order to put your physical John Hancock in the book.

Enjoy Some Proper English Food & Drink

Honor The Queen with high tea at The Tea Room at Cauley Square, just south of Pinecrest. This eatery’s elegant menu is available from 11:00 am-4:00 pm Tuesday-Friday and 9:00 am-5:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. They are closed on Mondays.

If drowning your sorrows is more your cup of tea, then look no further than the infamous Churchill’s Pub in Little Haiti, just north of the Design District. Their food menu offers a handful of bar food items, along with the requisite fish and chips and as many pints as it takes to fix your heart. They are open from 5:00 pm until 3:00 am and do not listen to the rumors that they are permanently closed. They are open once again.

Churchills Pub Miami Design District

If you are looking for a proper complete breakfast while watching footage of the services, look no further than Balans in Mary Brickell Village. With ample seating both indoors and under a covered patio, plenty of televisions to view the services and a full breakfast on the menu from a London-based restaurant chain, Balans will be the place for you to go.

For the end-all authentic Irish experience and are not afraid of a short road trip, you will find yourself at The Field Irish Pub and Eatery in Fort Lauderdale. This is where you’re going to get authentic bangers & mash, fish & chips, corned beef & cabbage, shepherd’s pie, all of this… and it was referred to us by our #1 British expat in Miami.

How did The Queen affect Miami?

Back in the early 90’s, when Miami was faced with an insurmountable amount of bad press, The Queen requested a visit to the Magic City. Her presence and glamour muted the noise from the racial tensions, cocaine cowboys and economic hardships that Miami was plagued with. Although the visit was brief, Her Majesty’s presence was felt long after her departure. May she rest in peace.
