Cucumber sandwiches, dear?
The Rough Guide recommends afternoon tea as one of the essential London experiences and The Athenaeum Hotel is a lovely venue. After selecting our choice of tea leaves from the extensive menu, we were served posh finger sandwiches and then warm scones with gorgeous jam. After the scones it was time to select some cake from the trolley and then in case we weren’t already full, there were crumpets and tea cakes to finish. Definitely recommended.
