My obsession with afternoon tea continues. Don’t tell anyone, but it was only in 2014 when I experienced my first ever afternoon tea (shock I know) and ever since then I just can’t get enough of this British past time. The idea of an afternoon tea or high tea, first came about in the 1800’s when a lady named Anna – The Duchess of Bedford, complained of “having that sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. Anna wanted something simply to satisfy her afternoon hunger and see her through till dinner time.
Such an amazing place for an afternoon tea with your beloved ones.
The afternoon tea menu includes a wide range of options that tastes really good and presented in a beautiful way.

My friend had booked the Library Lounge online and was completely and utterly excited to blow bubbles and drink tea. I didn't have the heart to explain what bubble afternoon tea meant in England. However, I did think he got the jist of it when we entered an olden library to see two old ladies having their weekly catch up and quietly munching on their scones. We were seated by the window, which yes, hosts a view of the Thames and Big Ben (if you really bend your back). Nonetheless, it was a beautiful view. The cakes were standard, nothing wow-ing, but they were very nicely made, perfect balance of crunch and cream. The pops were exciting, I mean it's popping candy... how is that not exciting. Scones were very nice and crumbly, we had an awesome debate on cream first or jam first. I won. It's always cream first.
The sandwiches, well, I'm surprised they had any left, we kept asking for more and more and more and more... you get the idea. They were great.
The bubbles, well, unlimited sparkling wine, who can complain?
The real bubbles however, was my surprise, I brought my own bubbles for my wonderful friend, the joy on his face made it one of the best afternoon teas I've been to.
