Afternoon tea at Athenaeum Hotel

As a little Xmas holiday treat this year, I took A to afternoon tea as
he has never been all the years he'd lived in London.

This is probably the best afternoon tea I've ever been to. The combination of
the exquisite sandwiches, scones and patisserie served in three
courses, private sumptuous settings, unlimited tea changes and
attentive service. I can see why this place won the Tea Guild Awards
for 2012. All the more fun being A's first ever afternoon tea.

Love love loved it!





First course of sandwiches - you can have as much as you like!



Ham and marmalade, cucumber, smoked salmon, egg mayo and turkey and cranberry. All so simple but executed perfectly on beautiful soft bread.



Our second course of hot buttery scones and being festive menu, mince pies.
