When in London: afternoon tea at The Ritz

A case of that-you-must-experience-at least once: a classic afternoon tea The Ritz in London. We can't think of a better place to try that traditional high tea when you're in the English capital. It is a lot more budget-friendly than a dinner in a five-star hotel, let alone an overnight stay, but it is certainly no less chic or special. In any case, just going inside this iconic building, which is steeped in history, is an experience in itself. Delicious cakes, finger sandwiches and a real mini orchestra providing classical music – this is an afternoon that you will always remember.

Have you ever been to The Ritz? Department store Fortnum & Mason also has a great afternoon tea.
