In the TĪNG Lounge on level 35 of this exceptional London spa hotel, they're pulling out all the stops with their Skyline Afternoon Tea inspired by signature scents from the Jo Loves Christmas Collection created by Jo Malone. The elegant experience features classic, plain and cranberry scones with jam and clotted cream accompanied by special-edition marble cake scones with chocolate and candied orange. Delight in seasonal finger sandwiches including roast turkey with cranberry and beef with horseradish, along with classics such as smoked salmon and cucumber, truffle egg and cress. To finish, there's a miniature Shard pastry decorated with Knotted Sash pattern from designers, Warner House, filled with white chocolate, apple compote and cinnamon sponge, and served over enchanting clouds of dry ice.

Afternoon tea has been a tradition at this hotel since it first opened in 1903, so they really know what they're doing. Experience beautiful details including a selection of sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Mrs. Darlington's jams, home baked treats (we love the pistachio macarons), and the hotel's own blends of loose leaf tea.

This beautiful country house hotel in Buckinghamshire is a tranquil retreat and a total joy to escape to in the middle of the week.

Bringing culinary artistry to this beautiful tradition, their feast of sandwiches, scones and cakes takes a seasonal twist with details such as brie and red onion chutney, as well as warm pork belly and nigella seed savouries. Fruit and plain scones with clotted cream and strawberry conserve remain a constant, and sweet treats range from salted caramel choir buns to white chocolate and raspberry mousse.
