Theo, one of my girls, is here these days visiting from SFO. Yay!! I love some girls time and on Saturday we are going to enjoy an afternoon of traditional High Tea. We did it last time Theo was here, but back then I wasn't on my finest so this time I'm planning to FULLY enjoy it! We are going at the Palm Court in the Langham Hotel. I guess it's not the obvious choice but after doing a bit of research I found out that The Langham had gone under an exquisite refurbishment and their high tea afternoon won the Top London Afternoon Tea 2010 award by the Tea Guild. I'm really excited because the hotel and tea room look amazing!




oh and the tea menu is called Wonderland Afternoon Tea! Fabulous?
All of those places look so comfy and sweet for afternoon tea indeed.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more civilised than tea with family and friends;-)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous, I wish we had that tradition here in the states.
ReplyDeleteSure fabulous! I am falling for that spread of delights in that last picture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! Do stuff yourselves (I'm sure it will be scrumptious!)... elegantly! ps I don't think you've seen yet that I've given you an award?
ReplyDeletesounds amazing! i want that bathtub with the bubble, pls. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds fabulous honey! Have a great time! I love high tea....I did it a few times in London, Victoria BC & I almost did it this week in Bermuda but didn't have the time.

Have a nice day!

ReplyDeleteCalgon, take me away!! I think I could fall asleep in that tub... but I won't because then I'd drop my glass of wine ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could join you! The hotel and tea room looks lovely. I have always wanted to do high tea at the Drake Hotel here in Chicago and have always seemed to miss it for 5:00 cocktails!

Love tea!!! However, have never had it the British way. Wish we had more of these traditions in the US. So, I'll live vicariously through your pictures.
ReplyDeleteTea w/ besties = HAPPINESS! That hotel is gorgeous... if I ever get to London you and I are going there!! xo
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun and tea w/ firends - what else can a girl ask for?
