In association with Netflix and Shondaland, The Lanesborough London is hosting a series of afternoon tea experiences inspired by the American period drama Bridgerton. The series kicks off this spring with celebrations devoted to the Regency era, complete with a domed glass roof and chandeliers that will light up at night.
Guests will get to sample finger sandwiches and brioche sliders prepared by The Lanesborough’s Head Pastry Chef, Kevin Miller, along with sweet bites in the form of scones and themed cakes that pay tribute to the characters of the series. There's The Queen's Diamond, A True Love Match, The Rake and of course, The Lady Whistledown, which takes the form of a pistachio nut financier and pistachio mousse cake.
