When it gets cold here in London lots of hotels and restaurants put on a festive afternoon tea so if you're visiting in November or December that is definitely a must do when you're here. I'm going to show you a few of my favorite afternoon teas that are festive themed around the city, and if you watch the end of the video you can get a special Christmas freebie from me. This year the Soho hotel that usually does a really nice traditional afternoon tea for the rest of the year have put together a G&Tea; with Monkey 47 gin. Each food item that is part of the G&T; uses one of the 47 flavors that is made up of the handcrafted gin, but it all has a bit of a Christmassy twist.

Some of the food highlights are the ginger and cinnamon cupcake with spruce frosting, there's a double chocolate orange delise, then of course there's plain and cranberry scones as well as the brie and cranberry relish on walnut bread, and the thing I want to dig into most is the mushroom and truffle arancini.

The winter wonderland tea at the Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel is a very traditional classic festive tea.
