Enjoy a traditional English afternoon tea in the elegant surroundings of Rubens At The Palace - a 4-star hotel just over the road from Buckingham Palace's Royal Mews.
Photo: viator.comSituated in the heart of the historic hotel next to their sophisticated New York Bar, the Palace Lounge's palette of rich hues and plush furnishings give it a timeless elegance where you can sit and enjoy the panoramic views of the Royal Mews, where the King keeps the stables.
Traditional menu for the Afternoon tea
Photo: rubenshotel.comThe quintessentially English menu includes everything you'd expect of a traditional afternoon tea... dainty finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, fancy cakes and pastries created by the hotel's own pastry kitchen, and a selection of freshly brewed loose teas.
Photo: viator.comTypical fillings for the finger sandwiches include smoked ham and cheddar cheese, burford brown egg mayonnaise, roast chicken and pesto mayonnaise, raspberry jam and peanut butter, and roasted hazelnut spread.
The pastries might include a chocolate caramel choux bun, a strawberry cream doughnut and a lemon drizzle cake.
