Best Afternoon Tea...... so far....

I love sitting in a room surrounded by lovely decor with a slight tinker of china, soft murmurs and oohhhs and ummms in the background. I am in fact describing an afternoon tea session :). I love afternoon tea, I find the whole experience relaxing, it feels like being in a different world. A world of beautiful things and absolutely gorgoeus sweet things! Afternoon tea is definitely an art of its own.

So imagine my happiness level when my friends took me to The Kensington Hotel for a surprise afternoon tea seesion! Not only was this a lovely and thoughtful gesture, it was in fact the best afternoon tea I have had so far, and I've been to a couple of places.

The place was elegantly decorated with a twist of modernness. We were sat next to a big window that brought in lovely light which made afternoon tea even more pleasant.

The afternoon tea set was not expensive at all, it was only for £23 and you would not be able to finish it.
