3. The Langham<\/a><\/h2>\n

If you’re having an afternoon tea\u00a0day with your family you might want to choose this place. The grandeur of the surrounding makes it appropriate for younger diners & the sandwiches are cut into funny shapes, not to forget the complimentary teddy bear for each child. Perfect if you have children coming with you.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Sketch<\/a><\/h2>\n

The pretty pink interior and the\u00a0domed ceiling of this place gives the illusion that\u00a0you’re dining inside a giant macaroon. The sensory tour of the various brews is given while tea & champagne are served in a theatrical manner by a member of the staff.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

5. Fortnum & Mason<\/a><\/h2>\n

This place has the best tea selection, a high quality\u00a0choice of sandwiches & cakes-If you’re new to the whole tea thing, you might be taught how to smell, steep & sip tea the right way as well as have the chance to sample various brands of teas, both popular & rare. What’s not to love ?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Sosharu<\/a><\/h2>\n

For a non traditional afternoon tea experience, head to this Japanese tea place where everything is served in moderation-Quality over quantity. The Kokicha with cherry blossom tea is one to try.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Hotel Cafe Royal<\/a><\/h2>\n

This place shares its property with the perfumery Diptyque, that’s why\u00a0the sweets are\u00a0inspired by Diptique’s best-selling\u00a0candles (expect lots of rose, blackcurrant, lemon\u00a0and vanilla) & the variety of tea blends is vast-one of the favourites\u00a0is the Oscar, inspired by frequest visitor Oscar Wilde.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

10. Mondrian hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n

One to try:\u00a0The foamy \u2018Fluff & Fold Royale\u2019 prosecco cocktail, adorned with a pistachio-powdered lemon marshmallow and mixed with fresh basil, orange bitters and a cacao liqeuer.<\/p>\n
