The Langham Hotel Valentine’s Day Afternoon Tea: Lack of a suitable Valentine again meant I was thrilled to be able to live vicariously with a preview of this year’s Valentine’s Afternoon Tea at the Langham Hotel.

The Beauty of Bermondsey – Staycation at Bermondsey Square Hotel
Bermondsey Square Hotel and the Bermondsey Antiques Market: A charming part of London, Bermondsey is somewhere that would probably not have been on your radar twenty years ago or so. There are several parts of London which, when I first moved here, were so unfashionable as to be totally unknown even to someone as démodé […]

Wedgwood Afternoon Tea at The Langham
Back to Classics – The New Wedgwood Afternoon Tea: I have long been a fan of the afternoon tea served at The Langham.

The patisserie of Cherish Finden, […]
Italian Afternoon Tea at Baglioni Hotel London
Baglioni Hotel, London – Stile Italiano I have a bit of a thing about afternoon tea.

And, as I discovered on […]
