The Park Room and Library have been recognized as among 'Britain's Best Afternoon Tea' destinations by the prestigious Tea Guild.
For those who don't know, an afternoon tea is originally an edited high tea that is consumed late in the afternoon, and not in early evening part of the day. Traditionally, while taking an afternoon tea, people tend to have light sweets and savouries, as company for their taste buds.
As per afternoon tea London tradition, full bodied meals such as breads, meat are avoided. Thus this meal is specifically meant for times when you have appetite for fewer, lighter courses. Interestingly, the credit for introducing the concept of afternoon tea goes to Anna Maria Russell, who was the Duchess of Bedford. Clearly, the historical connection works in favour of this 'afternoon tea London' tradition. Hence it serves as a perfect excuse for people to reconnect with their past.
However, enjoying this tradition the way it used to be once has become slightly difficult. Today, there are quite a few tea rooms in the country that actually live upto their promise of serving the tea that will take them back in the era when it all started.
Interestingly, apart from the regular tea tradition, the historical connect concept applies to Champagne too. Yes, London Champagne is not only famous for its taste but also for its rich cultural heritage. Although quite few in number, yet every traditional Champagne bar in London is trying to maintain and preserve the taste along with richness of this culture. For readers knowledge, there is a separate Champagne menu available in a Champagne bar. It consists of appetisers, heavy, full-bodied meals etc.
London Champagne baris quite good if one wishes to enjoy a drink or two with friends on any day of the week. In fact, a nice London Champagne bar is a famous hangout spot for a circle of friends on a weekend. In case if you are meeting formally with your friend or someone else, a more dignified choice would be an afternoon tea room. Stylish and beautiful, the ambiance in such place is always lovely and fit for all kinds of talks, personal or formal.
