It seems difficult to believe we’ve made it all the way to December this year, but here we are, Christmas is upon us! And so we thought it was time to celebrate.

Some traditions never fail, and celebrating life and good times at Claridges should be one of those traditions. Even if it is just to admire their beautiful Christmas tree, a visit to this luxurious hotel in the midst of the London buzz is a serious must.

A symbol of British tradition, style and luxury, the 5 star hotel never fails to deliver. We were lucky enough to squeeze ourselves into one of their last Afternoon Tea of the Christmas season and we were delighted with the outcome. The service, the attention to detail, and the food itself was superb, let me tell you.

We were greeted by their friendly, and whilst we were sipping on a beautiful glass of Perrier and listening to a beautiful piano on the background, we were paraded with the most indulgent set of finger sandwiches, which followed the most beautiful pastries I’ve seen in a long time. They were both pretty and delicious.
