“Queen's Gallery and Champagne Afternoon Tea”
Beautiful
“What a lovely Day.”
Very pleasant experience at the Rubens, we mentioned it was our anniversary and were offered complementary champagne, and they had the words "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate sauce around cake plate.
“Visit to the Queen’s Gallery & Afternoon Tea for Two”
Although the day was very enjoyable we found the sandwiches and scones rather disappointing. The rest (inc the service) was very good.
