The Lounge - The Royal Horseguards (Westminster)

• The Royal Horseguards Hotel is in a beautiful location that looks out to the London Eye
• It is one of those places that you could sit down with a great pot of tea and leave the world to do its thing
• The afternoon tea at The Royal Horseguards began with a smooth glass of Laurent Perrier champagne and a selection of sandwiches
• The two in the party who took the gluten free option were impressed with what was provided to them and requested seconds
• Those taking the classic afternoon tea received tuna in choux pastry along with light cucumber
• The tea ware was the Royal Horseguard&rsquo
• Each person was consistently served with the design they had originally sat down with (we each received a different and unique design of tea ware)
• Both plain and fruit scones were served around 40 minutes into the service
• Both gluten and non gluten free options being light and buttery with a deliciously tart home made fruit preserve
• Also served were a passionfruit tartlet
• Chocolate macaron and elderflower with raspberry Battenberg cake
• It would be very easy to make yourself at home in this wonderful establishment and it is certainly somewhere we would visit again
• This lovely girly afternoon tea is just what the doctor ordered if you are afternoon tea with the girls
• Pretty pink china and beautiful food is what is offered at The Royal Horseguards
• The gluten free afternoon tea is still a favourite of mine and let me tell you why
• The gluten free bread was slightly dry otherwise this would be getting a 5/5 review
• The gluten free scones were lovely and I actually ate two
• Something that I don't normally do as they are normally very heavy but these were extremely good
• The Pastries for me were the Piè
• Sistance and the Pastry Chef needs to receive one huge cuddle as I loved the variety and the care that was taken in preparing these little bites of sweetness
• London is synonymous with Afternoon Tea
• Pre dinner treat is a British institution
• The Royal Horseguards was honoured with its second &lsquo
• A Royal Horseguards unique blend of black leaf teas which was light in flavour with subtle strawberry and cream notes
• Gutsy Assam and rounded off with a tasty South Indian leaf
• Both of us opted for the Laurent Perrier Champagne flight with our tea (we patted ourselves on the back for the brilliant idea)
• These finger sandwiches were perfectly sized
• My favourites were the cream cheese &
• The coronation chicken which was packed with herbs and spices in a nice creamy sauce
• The scones were brought out only after we were done our sandwiches
• These scones are quite possibly the best scones I've ever had so far in my life
• The entire scone was light and buttery with a cake like denseness and texture
• Thick and creamy (clotted cream is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly)
• Lemon Cupcakes with Marshmallow Meringue
• Attentive service combined with its great afternoon tea and comfortable setting makes The Royal Horseguards a superb afternoon tea spot
• Guests enjoying afternoon tea will never leave hungry too as their Afternoon Tea is continuously replenished at no additional charge
• Having gained the law degree he was studying for whilst competing in the show
• Atmosphere was nice and quiet
• Especially with the sandwiches and crayfish rolls
