What’s not to love? We were at the sublime Berkeley Hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge, getting munchalicious with the award-winning Prêt-à-Portea served in the beautiful Caramel Room (tres sexy décor sporting faux-croc fabrics).
Inspired by the Spring/Summer 2009 fashion collections (the pastry chefs scour London Fashion Week for inspiration), this season’s afternoon tea of cakes and pastries includes a Smythson ‘Maze Bag’ banana Madeira cake and an impressive Valantino red coat chocolate cookie. An excellent selection of teas are also on offer - served in delicate Paul Smith china. The cherry blossom tea was a particular favourite.
Quite honestly, if afternoon tea is your ‘balenciaga’ - The Berkeley is definitely the place for Jimmy Choo (you)!
