      The mysterious ingredients with the last sandwich in the first place.... could it be stuffing with chicken ?

    I'm shocked! 😮😮😮 I honestly thought you were going to say the Selfridges Tea was £40 not 14! I can't believe it! They were both amazing looking. Patisserie Valerie had French accompaniments with the butter, cream and jam, whereas Selfridges had English with Tiptree Jam from Essex. Both delicious! Omg, both absolute BARGAINS! Obviously Selfridges overall was more artisan in the sandwiches and cakes, yet bizarrely £5 cheaper. I would be delighted to have either. Both venues looked charming too. You certainly know how to live! 😊

    I do like the way you do the talk-over after the video has been filmed. Not talking whilst eating makes the video easier to watch and you are able to describe the items more fully I think.

    its gotta be Selfridges for me. Apart from being cheaper, the sandwiches looked excellent. The cake selection was different. Draw for the scones, although if u were hungry then PV had more. I can't believe I wasn't aware that Selfridges did Afternoon tea, and it was so cheap. Thanks for the upload.

    It's funny as I too had scones today. They were very small, very nice, but just about filling a hole from a pub in Central London. But my order of spread was butter, jam then cream. Looking at these two cream teas, I must say that I'm impressed with them both. For me, though, it has to be Selfridges. Only because I like the variety and the different take on the sandwich.

    I can't decide between the two, going on price, I think it would be Selfridges. I liked the cakes better in the first one. I thought Selfridges would have had a nicer teapot and milk jug and for the size of the scone you should have had another pot of jam and some butter. All the scones looked lovely

    You should state clearly the price of each tea, next time. We were confused and its effected our selection. The Selfridges tower looked very professional, nicely composed with savory and sweets. Also sweets looked more complexedand made by a professional. As to the patisserie savories were nice, but sweets looked somewhat disappointing (I guess its ok for UK) as if made in a country bakery. Also, you did not state if they offered you a choice of tea and which one did you select.
