Came to this hotel for an afternoon tea with the girls and it was disappointing. My friend pointed out that "Now we know what an afternoon tea is like outside zone 1", which was quite funny, although of course I have been to a few afternoon teas inside zone 1 which are also not as good, but this one is at bottom place at the moment for service.We booked the afternoon tea slot between 3-5pm. My friends arrived at 2:30 and I arrived at 3:10. They were downstairs in the Chinese room bar having a drink and then my friend went upstairs at 3:30pm to check on the table. She never came back downstairs so we went up after her! She was waiting for news on when our table would be ready. The problem was no-one seemed to know. The first person she asked got another person, who also got another, and none of them were the wiser. In the end we got our table a whole hour late because they did not shoo away the customers before us. We were led to sit down at the table which was not even properly cleared as there was a lonely champagne glass sitting on the table. The table was far too small to fit the paraphernalia that comes with high tea, the waiter was pretty inexperienced or just plain bad because between the 4 of us we ordered 3 teas, he got 1 tea order wrong, after 15 minutes of waiting time. When he poured water from a jug all the ice fell into the glass, really? It was just bad and slow service throughout.The food was decent albeit the table was entirely too small to fit all the teacups, the food trays and whatnot. The lone waiter serving the four tables took forever to add more water to our tea.Other guests were also causing quite a nuisance as three girls were celebrating something on the balcony above us and decided to uncork their champagne bottle only to hit us with the cork....they were loud and unbecoming in what should have been a "posh" hotel surrounding.All in all, we had a terrible experience which was not good because these were friends I have not seen in a decade and it would have been nice if we had a good time instead of experiencing the madness of service and food in this environment.Conclusion: The hotel looks pretty, but the food and service is so NOT worth it. This place is also a long 15 minute walk from the underground so it is not in a convenient spot at all.
