The tea experience my girlfriend truly enjoyed was the ‘Prêt-à-Portea’ at the Berkeley Hotel. This ‘Prêt-à-Portea’ takes its name after Prêt-à-Porter fashion and all sweet snacks served here are inspired from the collections of the London Fashion Week. One can recognize some brand name clothes on the plate and take a bite on some high-heeled shaped biscuits or eat a marzipan purse. This venue is obviously very popular among the fashionable ladies in town and my girlfriend was literally head over heels for this place!
The last place we visited was the Alice in Wonderland inspired teahouse at the Sanderson Hotel. We both like this tale by Lewis Carroll so we were excited to visit the place and we felt like we had jumped into another dimension when we stepped into this colourful modern room decorated with clocks, carousels and birdcages. The menu was hidden inside vintage “Alice” books and tea was served to us in teapots embellished with queens and playing cards.
I’m more of a coffee drinker than a tea lover but I can assure you that the choice of teas in these places is endless…from the classic Earl Grey to violet you can find any flavour existing: hot chili pepper, liquorice, sage, bergamot, and many more medleys that you can usually choose ‘a la carte’.

I moved to London over 2 years ago but only last year I started writing for a local newsletter for Expats in London telling about my experience in this big city and giving advice to newcomers. London is a very dynamic city and has a lot for everyone but it’s important to have a local point of view to navigate it without getting lost. Let me be your guide to hidden London!
