Afternoon Tea at the Wyndham Grand, London Chelsea Harbour

Not long after visiting The Orangery, a group of friends and I headed to the Wyndham Grand for a birthday Afternoon Tea Party. The tea was served in the lounge of the hotel, and where we were sat we could see the marina outside. With it being a nice bright sunny day, it was a perfect setting for a group of 10 girls sipping away and secretly scoffing on the sweet delicates. 

We decided to share an afternoon tea per couple, but the tea sets were bought out in sets for four people to share.

The experience here although the setting was perfect was not as good as some of the places I have been to before. We had to ask for milk when our tea arrived and only a small jug was brought over, so we had to ask for some more. The clotted cream portions were tiny and was not sufficient for four people sharing, the portion size is usually for one person at any other afternoon tea place. All in all it ruined the experience a little bit as we had to keep trying to attract the attention of the waitress. The service could definitely have been more attentive and better. And the fact that we were amoung a few other diners there, the service was very very slow. It took almost half an hour for them to prepare the table for us to be seated. Definitely will not be coming back here, its such a shame as the scenery was absolutely stunning.
