I visited the Great Scotland Yard Hotel last weekend with a friend. The Great Scotland Yard Hotel decor pays tribute to the hotel building's former use as a headquarters of the London's Metropolitan Police. Around the hotel are various items relating to the police. I booked the bottomless champagne afternoon tea.
The afternoon tea is in association with Floris, and the sandwiches included a mushroom and chestnut quiche tart, smoked salmon and caviar, chicken coronation, egg truffle mayonnaise, and a chestnut and cheddar Yorkshire pudding. I had the vegetarian options, which replaced the meat with avocado and an Indian-inspired savoury. The menu was the winter menu.
The decor felt very 1920s.
I noticed that the design on the plates and teapot were the Thames.
I hope I got my worth of the bottomless champagne.
The desserts included: chestut vanilla and cassis tart, orange and chocolate, and bergamot and spiced. I had the vegetarian/vegan options, which were diffrent.
Two scones were also a part of the aftrnoon tea, and these were served with clotted cream and raspberry jam.
The afternoon tea was quiet with a small room in The Parlour, which made it a more intimate event. There is also a bar, which is designed in the art deco style.
