Afternoon Tea like the Royals
It was in 1840 that the Duchess of Bedford shared her guilty secret of enjoying tea and snacks a few hours before dinner, setting a trend that would evolve to become a national tradition complete with a new set of afternoon tea etiquette rules. Today, afternoon tea in London enjoys celebratory status. Flutes of Champagne and pretty pastries are a given, while exotic nibbles and potent cocktails mean that what now constitutes this most genteel of refreshments might well shock the Duchess of Bedford.
Don your finery and visit the center of the Ton, where The Lanesborough is hosting a very special afternoon tea in honor of season three of Netflix’s Bridgerton. Fans of the show will be transported to the finest ballroom (the hotel’s Regency dining room, where glistening chandeliers sparkle in the centre of the room) where a live pianist plays some of the songs the show is known for, plus some extras, as you indulge. The tea itself has all of the classic sandwiches, so expect salmon, cucumber and cream cheese, truffled egg mayo and chicken, plus a deliciously moreish cheese and crispy kale tart, made especially for the Bridgerton tea. You’ll get two scones each—a plain and a fruit one—with homemade cream, jam, and lemon curd—and trust me when I say it’ll take all of your strength not to ask for a third. Stay strong, though, because you’ll need room for the cakes, which are all a nod to the show. There’s the rich, chocolate ‘Social Butterfly’, the tart, raspberry ‘Colin’s Travels’, the blueberry ‘Book of Eloise’, and, to finish off, a sharing ‘Lady Whistledown’, which is pistachio mousse on a biscuit base. The cherry on top of the tea is (quite literally) the cocktail, ‘Friends to Lovers’, which is a twist on a margarita made with coconut tequila, cherries, cranberry juice, honey, and lime. A perfect pairing, some might say.
