Timothy! How cool, welcome!
Is there afternoon tea at Claridges?
I spent the first night of our honeymoon in the Grosvenor. The bed was awful, the springs had gone in the middle leaving a saggy mattress and the champagne was warm and we wished we'd stayed in our own bed overnight and set off for France from Brixton rather than from the Grosvenor. Would have been a nicer breakfast and allInteresting series, but personally I'd rather stay at the Grosvenor
Kill them before they grow up into monsters.I absolutely love this place. It's so art deco.
it was a toss up between 'genderise' and 'tenderise' LolTimothy, I'm delighted to welcome you here. I'd like to say what I said to the TV last night, though. You said "...if I can genderise Claridges as 'her'". You may, of course, call Claridges 'her' if you wish, but I'd really rather you didn't say "genderise", especially not in my living room. Thank you.
Here's the welcome...lol
Custard Cream please! ;-)Pure genius. You can stay
Would you like a hob nob or a custard cream?
that's not unusual for a champagne afternoon tea. top end, but not by far.£50 for champagne afternoon tea is a bit steep though. You'd think they'd leave the crusts on your sarnies for that price
Did that family get a discount as a family member used to work there?

I thought the sandwiches looked rather tasty! But so they should be at 50 quid a go
I liked the way they sliced them in kind of layers, very pretty. The cakes looked good too. However I don't feel my wardrobe is up to Claridges' standards so it would be an even more expensive event.
I'm sure they also mentioned casual (and elegant), so I'm sure going naked wouldn't be a problem
That sounds like my kind of afternoon.all the best places just keep bringing more little cakes and things until you explode, or discover the manners to say no...
it is fairly normal for a top end afternoon tea - best I've had so far is Browns in Mayfair - they keep bringing sarnies until you can't move - and then bring the cakes out tempted to try the Claridges one tbh£50 for champagne afternoon tea is a bit steep though.

No, but have had a few others. I love afternoon tea. Tiny sandwiches and small cakes. Also, usually scones with jam and cream... And champagne! (I don't actually like tea so I neeeeeed champagne).yep - Have you tried Browns? it is a most excellent afternoon tea - no offence timothy
I like tea! At Browns they give you a little bag of the loose tea you had when you leave, which is a nice touch.No, but have had a few others. I love afternoon tea. Tiny sandwiches and small cakes.
