Are you being served | 7 Jubilee Afternoon Tea’s

This year more than any other, afternoon tea seems to be on everyone’s wish list. London has some incredible themed afternoon tea’s for the Platinum Jubilee. I’ve been lucky enough to try out some of the best and it is Mr B’s favourite meal of the day.

Some of the afternoon tea’s come so highly recommended it would be rude not share them. Especially this year when, if you aren’t being served afternoon tea in London what are you doing?

I’ve shared 7 special afternoon tea’s celebrating the Platinum Jubilee. This is THE year to pull out all the Royal stops for a Jubilee tea.
