Afternoon tea is a tradition that dates back to the 1850s when the Duchess of Bedford was feeling peckish. Now many hotels offer this aristocratic repast but the original one was The Langham Hotel so we went to have some tea there.
There are different types of tea though. Afternoon tea, high tea, low tea etc.
The Langham was the first hotel to have hydraulic lifts, running water and was therefore popular with the literati. Even today you still see famous famous in there, especially as it is right opposite the BBC broadcasting house.
Don't forget to book in advance if you want tea because they do get very popular and you can even rquest books and games for the kids as well as fun cakes and sandwiches for children.

"Where To Have Afternoon Tea in London"! This should be a series!

@vilstef6988 5 лет назад

Marvelous! The bits of violin music reminded me of Stephane Grappelli, whose career was cycling down in the mid 60s. He was doing afternoon tea dances at a hotel in Paris. Not long after, he was rediscovered by a new generation, and he worked into the 1990s, up until about 2 months before his death. He was conservatory trained, and no one could improvise jazz like him. He kept saying, "I'm just a fiddler player." Anyone with ears to hear said he was one of the greats.

@shelleyphilcox4743 2 года назад

Butter if scone is cold then. Jam. Cream. If the scone is even barely warm, and you put the cream straight on the scone it will melt into it and make it soggy. The spread jam creates a barrier between the scone and the cream. :)

This is a very good video which shows the aspects of tea, showing much on the afternoon tea and explains the difference between Afternoon tea and High Tea. I really like the 1920s music you're using. The violin music makes me think of the Afternoon Tea Dances which Stephane Grappelli did before his career rebounded.

@JoannaHenwood 5 лет назад

Thank you! I am from Devon and yes, always cream first on a scone, as it is heavier, more like butter, and jam second, otherwise it gets in a mess, and makes the scone soggy. I do have Cornish ancestry too, they do have good pasties, but scones are definitely better done the Devon way!!!

@barbarastepien-foad4519 5 лет назад

Do you know, the best high tea I had was in The Majestic hotel in Penang Malaysia, followed by the Eastern and Oriental hotel in South Penang, wonderful . Betty's in Ilkley ain't so bad but not a scratch on Penang where " Englishness" is extremely highly rated, probably more so than in England..... Ps High tea is served later on...at " tea time" and has more of a cooked menu, high tea was originally food that was eaten by miners etc returning from the morning shift, the later dinner was then usually called supper.

Nice to see that The Langham treated Joolz so nicely. I used to work nearby in New Cavenish Street and dined/ entertained at The Langham on more than one occasion after it was refurbished. A delightful, upmarket but not intimidating hotel. Joolz should have said cakehole rather than gob.

@veldawells2839 5 лет назад

I guessed the cost was around £50 each. Expensive, but equisite. Beautiful hotel. I used to send business people there from Stansted Airport as somewhere to stay. Eloquent delivery Joolz. Looked very enjoyable. The crew are funny! Thank you for entertainment and education. I say "scone" (as in ice-cream cone), and jam before the cream for me!!

As always, a very enjoyable video. Must say that growing that Victorian whisker looks pretty good on you. How did you manage to eat all that food, you must have skipped lunch... The way scone is pronounced has a lot to do with your geographical origins. Pronunciation follows a discernible pattern across Britain and Ireland. Those who rhyme it with gone predominate in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England. Those who rhyme with cone dominate in southern Ireland and the Midlands. The rest of the country, like London, is a mixture of the two pronunciations.

Hi Robin! Oh dear, I feel rather bad. I have been to Delauney's and it's nice I agree. I'm sorry for not thanking you. It's very kind of you. I mean to do a general thanks in a video to everyone who has donated. I've actually been getting quite a lot of people writing and donating here and there and I just simply don't have time to reply to them all. Then I also try to reply to comments on here and to make the films (and live life etc)... It takes hours. I guess I'll need a secretary!
