Before I begin I'd just like to point out that this review is strictly on the afternoon teas at Claridges and not on any other aspect of the hotel.
'Im getting married in the morning, ding dong the bells are goanna chime' ok Im not actually getting married tomorrow but on the 16th of September this year I will be a Mrs.
Why is that relevant to Claridges I hear you ask? Well it's not strictly but the reason I ... ...best friend was all wedding related. Just to give you a brief why, where etc, I have four bridesmaids, 2 of them are my sisters and 2 of them are my best friend and her little sis, who is also my youngest sister's best friend. We aren't very adventurous in my family :)
My head bridesmaid (best friend of 25 years) has done such a lot for me since I started the whole wedding planning thing, she is an events manager herself so has had loads of really ...

Advantages: Attentive service, delicious food. Disadvantages: A little pricey, the temptation to just keep on eating.....
It was my Aunts 60th birthday and as a treat for her and her close female friends and family, we were all invited to Afternoon Tea at Claridges.
Afternoon Tea is held daily from 3pm until 5:30pm and this is something you have to book in advance, either over the phone or using the online booking form. As I didn't do this I can't comment on how easy or difficult it was. We totaled 12 and were sat on a long narrow table in a spacious area of the room. ... ...I didn't pay too much attention - sorry! - but it was very ornate, high ceilings, a bit art deco and surprisingly not as 'posh' as I thought it would be.

Advantages: A delicious and luxurious traditional treat, with excellent service Disadvantages: Not spontaneous - need to book ahead!
Afternoon tea at Claridges - A very enjoyable and luxurious tea. Excellent location and very convenient for shoppers - a few minutes from Bond Street Station. Booking is definitely necessary - at least a week or two in advance and longer if you are hoping to book for a Saturday or special date. I booked via email and the response was swift and extremely accomodating. Tea at Claridges is served in the Reading Room. Initially it seems less obviously ... ...and perfect for an intimate or quiet tea for couples etc. The tea itself was delicious, a superb range of choice and no limit to how many fresh pots or types you could try.
Tea was accompanied by lovely sandwiches with a good range of fillings, which we were offered more of, and sepcifically whether we had any favourites which we would like more of. Then there were 2 types of scones which were perfect, with cream and jam of course, then finally ...
