On Valentine's Day, I went to Sofitel London St. James Hotel to have an afternoon tea at "The Rose Lounge" - with my mother. :) Finally, I got to try the real, traditional afternoon tea in England! And it was MARVELOUS!
We were seated next to the fire place. :)
The delicious sandwiches and the scones were replenished as much as we wanted, the service was impeccable, the atmosphere really cosy and pretty. There was also a harpist who played lovely tunes... I felt like a princess! ♡♡♡
After the sandwiches and scones, you get to chose 2 different pastries
from the cake trolley but my mother and I were both SO stuffed! The sandwiches and scones were so good that we couldn't stop ordering
more... (^_^;
I decided to get the smallest pastry - a caramel éclair - but just one... My mother did the same but asked the friendly french waitress if she could take it home and the waitress said "of course" and brought a small box with her zipper éclair inside. :)
The price was £36 each (12.5% service charges included), so a little high for an afternoon tea but for me, it was definitely worth it!

I totally loved "The Rose Lounge" and would recommend it to anyone who likes to have an afternoon tea and enjoy a romantic and pretty atmosphere!
