Conveniently located off regent street, the parlour is the perfect place to have an afternoon tea after an exhausting day of shopping.

The atmosphere is worth a visit on its own. Make sure you check the lovely light sign in the hall way.

We cosily sat on velvet arm chairs and shared a selection of three pastries:
• a tarte panna cotta, with candied grapefruit and grapefruit jelly (and my favourite).
• an entremet marron, which tasted a lot more like dark chocolate to us.
• a cardinal, or more precisely, a violet creme au beurre and a blueberry compote encased in a large purple macaron shell (my sister still dreams about this).

The service was outstanding, and I must admit I can’t wait to go back for a proper champagne afternoon tea.
