For a real London afternoon tea experience, one cannot go past Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair. Serving the traditional fare in style and class, complete with live piano music, one cannot help but melt into the armchair and wish all afternoons were spent in this fashion.
An array of sandwiches with contemporary twists on the traditional, such as mint in the cucumber sandwiches, make them extremely tempting. You may need more than one plate.
The cakes are all delightful. Yes, I had all of them. Particular accolades go to the luscious lemon tart and the softer than silk, macaron.
Champagne was a must, as we were there to celebrate my leaving London for a gig on the Queen Mary 2. Bubbles and ladies in frocks and old world British service. Yes please.
