IT’S a bloomin’ brilliant idea. A London hotel has teamed up with the Natural History Museum to create a new afternoon tea that’s the bee’s knees with diners.

Royal Lancaster London’s ‘Blooming British Afternoon Tea’ is a unique treat designed as food for thought, particularly about the importance of the humble honey bee.

The flora and fauna makeover by the five-star hotel’s Head Pastry Chef Scott Villacora and his team is inspired by the renowned museum’s work to protect the natural world.

Travelling from the Museum on a 30-minute nature walk through leafy Hyde Park, following a map created for the occasion, visitors arrive at hotel’s Hyde Café for tea.

Sally Beck, General Manager at Royal Lancaster London, says: “We are delighted to collaborate with the iconic Natural History Museum on our new Blooming British Afternoon Tea. 

“We are excited to be able to offer guests a wonderfully unique and quintessentially British experience through the art of afternoon tea, whilst also highlighting the importance of pollinators.”
