The Dorchester, which is located in the centre of London overlooks both Hyde Park and Mayfair.  Since opening in 1931, The Dorchester has served the finest afternoon tea in London. Experience this tradition every day at at 1pm, 2pm, 3.15pm, 4.30pm and 5.30pm.

The Dorchester offers some of the most unique afternoon tea options from seasonal specialities to charming teas created with little ones in mind, each selection celebrates the best in British heritage. I love that the Dorchester have special events aimed at families such as their half term event combining the ballet and afternoon tea.  My pick would be the Chocolate Indulgence, which is one of the more unique choices.  The luxurious hot chocolate trolley allows guests to create a tailor-made blend featuring a choice of 12 different chocolates to create a truly indulgent treat.

Nisbah

I am a traveller, mother and blogger. We love to go on adventures (big and small, near and far) and strive to show our children how amazing and beautiful the world is! I caught the travel bug many moons ago and despite having three little adventurers, I still suffer from "itchy" feet. We love the great outdoors and one another. Come and join the fun :)
