Afternoon tea is one of life’s true pleasures. Sharing a three-tier display of delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam and cream and handcrafted bite-sized pieces of cake with a friend or your other half is a truly wonderful way to while away the afternoon. A piping hot pot of tea or even a glass of bubbly to wash it all down is the icing on the cake.
One of London’s Finest
Kona, located at Buckingham Gate hotel in south-west London, boasts London’s finest afternoon tea. The setting is a sophisticated world-class restaurant with attentive service and a beautiful decor to enjoy while you dine. Even the Telegraph has described this venue as the best afternoon tea in London. But what makes it so special?
Of course, like any great afternoon tea, Kona delivers beautiful sandwiches and an array of enticing sweet treats. But it’s the added magical touches which make this so special. You begin your culinary journey by opening the afternoon tea chest with a chocolate key – which you can then eat! The afternoon tea is served inside a golden birdcage, exquisitely displaying all the tasty morsels inside.
Each item on the menu has an added tasty twist, such as chicken sandwiches featuring home-made lemon mayonnaise. The cakes are shaped beautifully and feature unusual flavours such as a lychee and rose mousse. A wide range of fragrant teas is available, too.
