For afternoon tea, Fortnum and Mason is supposed to be very good (and comparatively reasonably priced).
For a caff, second the suggestion above for the Regency."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It’s the s*** that happens while you’re waiting for moments that never come." -- Lester FreamonComment

Afternoon tea is great fun. I went to the Waldorf but that was 15 years ago.Originally posted by d000hg View PostIt seems The Ritz is already booked up for 2 months ahead, when we'll be in London for our anniversary. Are there any other swanky places we could go, that are worth the money?
Probably going to try and fit in one posh lunch/dinner too... went to 15 last time and would quite like to try Heston's new place, but there must be dozens of great places with Michelin stars and the like... recommendations for posh English/Indian places welcome.
What's The Ivy like... pretentious or worth it?
If someone wants to arrange a CUK afternoon tea, I could be up for that.Comment
