Dear
Reader,
|
|
We are a nation obsessed
with Afternoon Tea. Never has this ritual been so popular
– The Ritz has to have five sittings a day starting at
11.30am and ending at 7.30pm just to cater for our cake-loving
nation. I myself gorged on dainty smoked salmon sandwiches and
jam-laden scones this week at The Savoy. It feels like a way into
luxury that is accessible to all: you don’t have to commit fully
to staying in a glitzy hotel to enjoy it, nor do you have to
navigate a stuffy, expensive dinner menu, and you can delight any
guest – whether granny or child. With afternoon tea, you know exactly what
you’re getting – tiered plates of sugary confection in a
beautiful setting, and who could not delight in that?
Have a great week.

WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK
|
|
|
|
|
Costly Cocktails
|
|
Speaking of glitzy hotels, it’s among London’s
most glitziest that you’ll find yourself paying a small mortgage for
a cocktail. Not your bog standard Negroni, of course, but still, a Salvatore at Brown’s
will set you back over
£5,000… Cheers!

Buying London
|
|
You might not get the sunshine or the gleaming
white teeth of Selling Sunset, but you will probably get
similar storylines translated to the greyer streets of the city when
property show Buying London lands on Netflix next month.
