I can't resist a chance to have afternoon tea! When in Rome, or England, in this case!
Then the added Christmas atmosphere and you've got one beautiful celebration of a Christmas tea!!
Once again, I made my way to London for another London Bloggers Tea. This time at the Lancaster London overlooking Hyde Park with the amazing Chef Ben Purton.

I tell you, Chef Ben did not hold back! He is one hospitable chef!
The decor was simple yet so elegant.
A beautiful display of Novus tea and bubbly.
Some yummy goodness right there!
On the menu:
Smoked salmon, cucumber, and egg & cress sandwiches along with wild mushroom, chicken tarragon tartletts and beef filled Yorkshire pudding.
My favorite part, the scones:
Plain, raisin and Christmas Pudding scones with Lancaster London's marmalade and homemade strawberry jam. Don't forget the Cornish Clotted Cream!! #letsgetsconed!
Desserts:
White chocolate raspberry lollipops, passionfruit & raspberry macaroon, caramel and hazelnut tranche, apple & honey cupcake and lemon fruit tart.
I was pretty full by this point. But the white chocolate raspberry lollipops were calling my name! Don't they look pretty?! There was a little surprise on that first bite. Pop rocks!! That bright red ring around the center were pop rocks! Absolutely loved that touch!
Such a lovely spot for tea, don't you think?
If you find yourself near Hyde Park, check out the Lancaster London. Fabulous afternoon tea, and the rooms look amazing too!
