Escape the hustle and bustle for an afternoon treat
The Arch London is a stylish boutique hotel, which spans seven Grade II listed Georgian townhouses and two mews homes. Tucked away on a residential street near the West End, it's a great place to escape the chaos to treat yourself to afternoon tea.

My friend and I visited Arch London on a relatively quiet Sunday afternoon, which was nice as it meant we almost had the place to ourselves - meaning I had all of the benefits of having a friend round mine for tea, although let's be honest, it was an all around much more glamorous affair! Afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the hotel’s stunning Martini Library, the stylish Hunter 486 restaurant or the chic Salon de Champagne lounge, which is where we enjoyed ours - naturally.

Miln | The afternoon tea consisted of a selection of British delights including Stilton cheese straws; chicken liver parfait with spiced fig chutney; and rare roast beef, horseradish, watercress and crispy shallots. And of course, no afternoon tea is complete without tea and Champagne. We had a chilled glass (or two) of Tattinger Brut Reserve and a fresh mint tea, both of which you can never go wrong with! Our favourite bit of the afternoon tea hands down (not counting the Champagne), was the dessert, which featured a strawberry and pistachio tart served along with macaroons and a traditionally English Eton mess. So, if you find yourself in the West End feeling more frazzled than fabulous, you now know where you can find a respite from it all... Royal Afternoon Tea, priced at £25 per person or £38 with a glass of Tattinger Brut Reserve, is available from now until 30 October 2016.  |
