London | Must try afternoon tea in Hotel Cafe Royal

Hotel Café Royal 📍10 Air St, London W1B 4DY Hotel Café Royal is a stunning 5-star hotel, famous for its afternoon tea, once frequented by Oscar Wilde. The interior is luxurious and opulent, and the historical charm of the space added to the magic—our table even had a plaque noting it was once visited by a novelist, giving us a sense of stepping back in time to meet iconic figures! Tea Selection: There’s a wide variety of teas available, and you can switch freely. I personally enjoyed the Earl Grey—its rich, fragrant aroma paired perfectly with the sandwiches and scones. Sandwiches: A selection of flavors, including cucumber, smoked salmon, chicken, and beef, all beautifully prepared. The crispy biscuit with tomato on top added a touch of Spanish flair—unexpected yet delicious. Scones & Desserts: The scones were impeccably crafted, but the highlight was the Van Gogh-inspired chocolates and pastries. A tiny chocolate self-portrait was presented on a miniature easel—adorable and inventive! The coffee notes balanced the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly. #eatlikealocal #london
