"From £85 per person Imagine a high-ceilinged room, with a violinist playing renditions of Taylor Swift, and the smell of jasmine filling your nose as a server pours your tea. At The Rosebery at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, that’s exactly what you’ll get. The elegant tea room inside a fancy Knightsbridge hotel is our favourite afternoon tea spot for sandwiches. Coronation chicken bites are nicely spiced and generously filled, and you’ll want to order another round of the truffle egg—which is encouraged. The excellent scones are warm and buttery, and while the desserts look like a work of art, the sweetness can be overpowering. Even so, the calming music, comfortable sofas, and those hauntingly good sandwiches make it worth a visit." - rianne shlebak, eileen twum
