What a gorgeous place!!

I’m sat here now writing this review. This bakery is the most stunning bakery I’ve ever been to! Cakes are delicious, service friendly too! The decorations are so delicate and precise - you feel like you’ve entered a wonderland.

A deliciously British experience!

The whole experience was incredible. Went there as a surprise to my friends and we absolutely loved it! We enjoyed every bite of this delicious afternoon tea. Needless to say we ate everything…! The tour was also a delight. Weather was nice and allowed us to see all the beautiful landmarks perfectly.

Peppa Pig Bus Tour of London absolutely fantastic!

The entire theme was around Peppa Pig, even my 7 year old enjoyed it because it was informative about the sites of London and my 3 year old loved it because it's Peppa Pig!!!! My mum also enjoyed it as the food was really nice and she got to see the nice places in London! A must try for all!!!! The staff were amazing the food was super delicious and you get to take Peppa Pig coffee mugs home, as well as all the food! Well worth the money.

Fantastic Experience

Booked for 2 couples (all around aged 50 😉) for tour and afternoon tea. Greeted by very pleasant and fun staff. Sandwiches and cakes were already at our table and very well presented. Tasted great and was more than enough (couldn't finish it all). We had 2 bottles prosecco pre-ordered and both were chilled and served as required. Good mix of upbeat music for all ages played throughout the 90 minute tour. Little snippets of information on the sites thrown in too

Afternoon Tea in LaLa Land

Our friends booked me and my wife this treat for my birthday and it was excellent, nice food great service one and half hour of travelling around London with good commentary of the sites in between listening to nice xmas carols, really do go into la la land. would recommend this trip to any age group.

WOW .. What an amazing experience

Gin Lovers what are you waiting for.
A afternoon tea with a difference, 3 complimentary gin cocktails, which includes a classic English Gin & Tonic, brought together with your classic Afternoon tea with a twist as some of your delights are infussed with GIN how FAB is that... Gin lovers you can't go wrong with this... And the fun doesn't stop there, your afternoon Gin tea, takes place on a vintage London route master bus while taking in some of the most famous sites of London.
