"Did afternoon tea with my wife while on holiday in London. It was the one experience on my bucket list (everything else we did was on hers, but that's another story). Made reservations here the day before. Easy to get to after watching opening ceremonies at Buckingham Palace. The teas and food were superb. 3 courses of sandwiches, scones, and pies as well as different tea with each course. Also came with sparking wine to start as part of the package, and a cute little sample of body sprays from Yardley. The staff was spectacular. Our main server (unfortunately I didn't get her name, but she was from Portugal), really made the experience, along with her colleagues. She recommended different combos of teas and food selections, and they were perfect. Super friendly and welcoming. Next I'm in London, I'd do it again at the InterContinental."
