    GRACE - you MUST review/try the afternoon tea at the Savoy Hotel in London !!!!
    I went there with my mum for my 21st birthday and it was the most amazing ecperience of my life
    vibes, food, service EVERYTHING 10/10
    so much tea to choose from and the atmosphere was STUNNING
    they even had a live pianist
    you would LOVE it

    My best friend and I took our first trip to London a few months ago and I had a whole list of afternoon tea places to decide between. A lot of places ended up being booked up so we ended up at The Royal Lancaster (which wasn’t at the top of my list). However, the food and the service was amazing and we were blown away and really enjoyed ourselves. I would love to hear you do a review of the place to see how it comes in your mind since we had no other afternoon tea experiences in London to compare it to and I’ve seen some of your other videos of places you tried/tested

    😂 cream goes first then jam because the cream is thicker to spread and the jam just slides over it😊

  • @juliez4944
    @juliez4944 5 месяцев назад +5

    I am so totally with you on the Cream going 1st. Otherwise you have to put it on in blobs- not nice. I will say that I like to just spoon my jam on Instead of spreading it though.

    Every time my mate and I go for afternoon tea, to avoid any argument, I do cream then preserves on one half of the scone, and preserves then cream on the other half - a bit of afternoon tea diplomacy. Cheers! By the way, the AT on the Sunborn Yacht Hotel at the Excel Centre is worth the trip to the East End. We were there for comic con and took a break with a sumptuous afternoon tea, impeccable service, just a fun time.

    You might take your mom and dad to the Mandarin tea next time! It'd make a great treat for them. The Library has such a lovely room, it's a shame about the sandwiches. I hope they get the message. The Shard is beautiful. Nice to see the beautiful Honor with the beautiful Grace. Lovely young women enjoying their youth!

  • @OneXaKo
    @OneXaKo 5 месяцев назад +1

    out of all the afternoon teas I've had, I have to say my favourite one was The Clermont at Charing Cross. I was able to snatch it from Groupon so it wasn't that expensive, and you can choose to have prosecco included if you drink, which they kept refilling without a problem! so, if anyone's in London, I greately recommend it :)

    I think you and Honour or Anna should have a channel together. Travel, hotels, food and event reviews. You two vibe well together and your train ride in an earlier video with the seniors was super fun. Like that episode of The O.C. When the boys go to Florida. Seth and the seniors was hilarious and I bet the elders would enjoy it too.❤

    That is so disappointing about The Library! I had the Afternoon Tea with free flowing Champagne there a few years ago and it was fabulous! The service was really really good and the food was amazing - although I had the regular menu as I visited in the springtime. Hopefully it is just the festive menu that is a bit disappointing and the quality of the regular menu hasn't dropped. I guess I have to try the Lanesborough next!

  • @angelika_munkastrap4634
    @angelika_munkastrap4634 6 месяцев назад

    If you put the cream on first you limit what jam can be added and you smoosh all the air out of your cream and make it nothing except only it’s flavour
    You need to keep the air in it by adding it gently on top and the textual difference and moisture to your mouth aswell is amazing
