166 YEARS OF PICNICKING
GW Scott opened its first store in London, England in 1661. In 1851 the company invented the wicker picnic basket, which was both a revolutionary product and very much of-the-time. It was first shown during the Great Exhibition, which was held in Crystal Palace of Hyde Park in Central London.
