Best Tea in London - On A Vintage Bus

Welcome to afternoon tea in London!  This had to be

the best food I have ever had at high tea, and the

most fun I have ever had (and I have been to some fun teas!)

Our tea takes place on a vintage double decker bus,

boarding right off Trafalgar Square.  

Imagine how enchanted we were as this 1960's bus

rolled around the corner to pick us up.  Talk about

making you excited that you had picked this excursion.

It was tea plus a bus tour of the major attractions in London.

And as we walked on the bus, our table was

all set and ready to go.

The inside of the bus has been redone with classic vinyl seats,

and funky, girly tables and decor.

Our places were set with hot pink napkins and silver flatware

with vintage plates.  The lemon meringue tarts were on each

plate as we sat down.

 Each individual had a different vintage

china plate.

A darling book was at each table of two or four

to tell you about all of the sites we were going to see.

The table was filled with the most scrumptious

sandwiches and pastries.  They are all made by

BB Bakery, so every bite was fantastic.

Of course we had traditional cucumber sandwiches, but

made with their homemade bread.

with quiche and smoked salmon and cucumber blinis, 

along

with a tomato bread and a chicken sandwich that was 

everyone's favorite.

This was not a skimpy tea like some!

We couldn't finish all of the food,

and they had orange juice in cup holders

on the table, they took your order for tea - I chose

peppermint, and they also offered us water.

Each of the delectable sweets were made with real

cream and were fantastic.

 A few days later, we ran across BB Bakery.

It was just as charming.

Look at their gorgeous florals in the windows,

and notice the little creamer filled with

French Macarons at the bottom.

This is another floral, made of pastries with

a couple of tea cups tucked in!

Simply darling.

I would highly recommend this tea experience,

or just stopping at BB Bakery!  We all felt like

it was one of the highlights of our London experience.
