"The Rosebery at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Picture a high-ceilinged room with a violinist playing renditions of Taylor Swift, and the smell of jasmine filling your nose as a server pours your tea. At The Rosebery at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, that’s exactly what you’ll get. This is our favourite afternoon tea spot for sandwiches. Things like coronation chicken bites are nicely spiced and generously filled. While the desserts look like a work of art, the sweetness can be overpowering. Even so, the calming music, comfortable sofas, and those hauntingly good sandwiches make it worth a visit." - rianne shlebak, eileen twum
