Jumeirah Carlton Tower

Afternoon Tea is taken in The Chinoiserie at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower luxury five star hotel in London. This is a place they use for breakfast, afternoon teas, light lunches and drinks in the evening, but the room really comes into its own for Afternoon tea. Think a huge table laden with tiny morsels of deliciousness under large and small glass domes which are akin to a kind of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory feeling which makes one feel like a tiny child in a huge delightful wonderland of cake. There are also glass jars of hundreds of thousands, marsh mellows and chocolate covered nuts. The afternoon tea is created by a master patissier who also worked on Channel Four's series, Mad about Baking, and involves the British summer flavours of lavender and strawberry whipped up in to light and delightful confections.
