Original Maids of Honour
I have to start with a confession, June&rsquo;s been a busy month and I&rsquo;ve only managed to fit in two afternoon teas,&#160;both very different but both equally&#160;wonderful. I made a return visit to the Original Maids of Honour, for a very traditional High Tea,&#160;and also sampled the delights of a Moroccan afternoon tea....]]></description>

&#160;Sanderson Hotel&#160;
I do love my afternoon teas, but I have to say the Sanderson&rsquo;s Mad Hatter&rsquo;s Tea has been one of my favourites as it really shone out for me for being so original and quirky. When I featured their scones in my Scones of the Month I felt that was only told part of the story and it deserved its own blog post so here it is.&#160; Enjoy! ...]]></description>

Sanderson Hotel
This month has seen me partaking of more scone eating with&#160;like minded friends and includes one of the most charming afternoon teas ever, the Mad Hatter&rsquo;s Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson, a cream tea in an art gallery restaurant,&#160;scones in my favourite department store and&#160; a&#160;fabulous, affordable afternoon tea&#160;directly on Leicester Square itself. ...]]></description>

To A Tea
This month&#039;s scone blog saw me making a return visit to To&#160; A Tea. To my deep shame as a City Guide, I have to confess to only recently discovering this delightful tea emporium in the City of London but it has quickly become&#160;one of my&#160;favourite tearooms. ...]]></description>

Delaunay Counter
This month&rsquo;s scone blog features four fabulous places to enjoy scones. I started off with a visit to the Delaunay Counter which is one of my favourite cake places in London. The&#160; Counter is a separate eat in/ take away deli, adjacent to The Delaunay Restaurant, and its menu is inspired by the grand cafes of central Europe. I often stop by for tea and cake but I have been curious to try their afternoon tea which is offered at&#160;an unbelievable price of ju...]]></description>

One of the pleasures of writing this blog, apart from eating the scones of course, is discovering new, quirky&#160;places, so Yannick and I decided to&#160;visit&#160;Ham Yard Hotel in Soho, which only opened a couple of months ago. Despite being a Westminster Guide, I have to say to my shame, even I had a bit of difficulty finding it as it&#039;s tucked away behind Piccadilly Circus but for me that just added to it&#039;s charm. I ordered the scones which&#160;arrived ...]]></description>
