Review of The Langham London 5*

I had visited the Palm Court on 14/8/15 with my son for a special champaign afernoon tea. At first site I noticed that the customers which were already dining at the Palm Court how comfortable and casual they were as if they were their all day. It was a positve atmostphere. We were greated by Alice our tea sommelier and waitress for the afternoon. She could not have been more pleasant and her persoanlity shone through. Nothing was too much trouble. We had Motet champaigne, followed by a platter of sandwiches which were different from the standard over filled ones one would get. These were nice bite sizes. I had the taragon mustard and plum tomato which was a nice pink bread, followed by asparagus and wiltshire ham comte cheese. My son, of course tried them all! The tabel was dressed in lovely crip startched linin — I would like to know how to get mine like that! The crocery was of course the finest of Wedgwood which I really appreciated. It's these fine touches in life that make an occassion worth while! I have been to may Tea afternoons, but the pleasantness of this room and Alice was just lovely. There was also a wide selection of Sepciality Langham Teas whish were so relaxing. Oh and of course how can I non mention the miniture pastry collection. Edible Daisy Teapot Cinnamon shortbread cookie, Hattaway Rose Motif, English Rose and lyche log. And the finale was the lightly roasted pistachio financier. The peanist played everyones favourate tune — happy birthday where I was presented with a lovely oblong cake and candle. A very pleasant afternoon indeed worth visiting. Thank you to all!
