This past Christmas, the hubby and I packed our bags for Jolly Old England - I think Christmas is definitely one of THE best times to visit. Many might disagree. Yes, it's limited daylight hours, it's cold, and most of the time, wet, but your in LONDON! Winter Wonderland is going on in Hyde Park, Oxford and Bond Street are bustling, the lights are out everywhere - it's simply magical.
We were lucky to get reservations for two at the iconic Ritz London Hotel. If you haven't been, I think it's simply a must do for anyone wanting to experience a beautiful tea time. If you didn't feel like royalty when you walked through the door, you certainly will when you sit down. Be warned, you need to dress up a little for this one (no jeans, this is The Ritz people...), but it's so worth it. I especially enjoyed the to gentlemen sitting to my left dressed in full morning suits, it totally added to the "experience". Though I'm sure that wasn't their intention. And the carolers singing to the baby grand piano in the corner make you feel like you're in a Dicken's novel. Which, I'll be honest, I'm all for!
Anyhow, I plan to try as many tea times as I can whenever I visit England - and you should too, if you love taking tea as much as I do!!
