Let’s do the math: for two people with Champagne, you’re looking at roughly £200 after service charge. That’s the same as a decent hotel room, or a week of groceries for a small family. But you’re not paying for food—you’re paying for the memory of eating a perfect scone while a harpist plays “Greensleeves” in the background.
Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. Is it kind of magical? Also yes. My advice: go with a friend who loves tea, skip lunch, and wear your fanciest shoes. And if you can’t afford the Champagne upgrade, just whisper “bubbles” every time you sip your tea. The waiters won’t hear you, but you’ll know.
One last thing: the tea is refillable. So drink like a Victorian aristocrat with a bottomless budget. Just remember—you’ll be paying for that memory for months. But hey, at least your Instagram will look amazing.
