There’s no better treat after a long day of shopping and exploring than afternoon tea. We visited the Langham’s elegant Palm Court to sample their current afternoon tea in collaboration with Paul Lafayet. We loved the chic yet casual setting and welcoming staff. Their Duchess Afternoon Tea, which is paired with a delicious glass of Ruinart Rose, was enticingly delicious and indulgent. We loved the variety of delicate savoury options and their selection of beautiful and mouthwatering sweets. Highlights include the delicious creme brulee, the rich and irresistible chocolate craquelin, sweet and flaky strawberry tart, and their warm classic scones served with clotted cream and jam. A perfect spot for a relaxing and luxurious afternoon.
