Afternoon Tea At Claridge's In London

One of the highlights from our days in London was afternoon tea at Claridge's Hotel. 

What is in it for you, my Readers?

I think you will love all the beautiful details and what it can bring to your table for entertaining. 

The hotel is gorgeous. 

What were these stunning flowers in the lobby?
Let me know if you know what they are. 

The mirrors, windows and chandeliers are fabulous. 

The decor in the restaurant is lovely with cream colored walls and celadon green furnishings.

I was quite taken with the Claridge's Collection green and white striped Bernardaud China. 

We began the meal with champagne. 

The finger sandwich offerings included salmon, cucumber, roasted chicken, duck egg salad, and ham.
They were delicious. I loved the cucumber.

We were served scones, clotted cream and jam with our tea.
There were twenty six tea selections.
The Claridge's blend was the best tea I've ever had.
I added milk even though they suggested skipping the milk with this tea.

We had plenty of time to sip our tea and converse before we were served fresh pastries. 

These are prepared with seasonal fruit and flowers. Edible gold accented some of the pastries. 

The chocolate cake with cherry and raspberry was unbelievable. The sponge cake was my favorite. 

We left this lovely establishment completely satiated. 

Bill expected this to be more like an afternoon snack and was surprised at how substantial it was. 

It was an incredible and magical experience. It's a must do on any trip to London.
Claridge's Afternoon Tea was enchanting. What a treat.
I'm in love with that china!
I hope you are well.
