No visit to the United Kingdom is complete without having a proper English tea. I received so many recommendations from friends on where to go. There are lots of choices from casual to high end. Since I've had afternoon tea at more casual places when I lived there, I opted for the decadent Champagne Afternoon Tea at the Dorchester in the exclusive Mayfair neighborhood of London. From the service to the drinks to the food, everything was outstanding.

***A big thank you to my favorite British born designer, Valerie Wills, for this fabulous recommendation.
