My drink of choice is champagne. Like me it's fun and bubbly. We're a vibe. Together we make a…read moreperfect pair. I was in London at the end of January. I've discovered I like Europe this time of year no lines and no waiting. Hence, I walked in and found a seat at the bar no reservation. I was fortunate to meet a pretty blonde dripping in Chanel (it's Harrods). We kept each other company while sipping champagne and nibbling on small bites. Their small bites are very nice. I highly recommend drinking champagne at Harrods. It's the least expensive thing you can buy:).

I recently visited the bar with a reservation made in advance. We had to wait in a short line for…read morecheck in and upon check in we were immediately seated at the bar. We were promptly greeted by a team member however they weren't the most courteous, helpful, or attentive during our experience at the bar. Upon seating, we saw others receiving savory chips but we did not receive any - we had to ask for them after sitting at the bar for about 30 minutes. We ordered champagne flights which were phenomenal. There are very light bites at the bar and you can order champagne by glass or bottle. It is a small bar and dining area with is a nice respite from shopping in Harrods but not much else. We utilized rideshare to get to Harrods. $$

Service was polite but quite pushy, which is not surprising for the bougie (North American slang…read morefor bourgeois, maybe even a bit snobby) nature of the place. I came in with three others at around 9pm, and the place was pretty empty, even despite its small size. There was a pair sitting at the bar, as well as another group seated at a table. The bartender told us the place would close at 11pm, but there was another guy (probably a manager) buzzing around who seemed extremely antsy to get people out. He closed the door around 10pm, whisked around trying to rush the clean-up process, and kept whispering things to the bartender. He killed the atmosphere of the place. Trying to get people to leave in order to save money is only going to get you poor recommendations and results in the long-run.

Wonderful afternoon spent indulging at the Perrier-Jouët Champagne Terrace. The service was nearly…read moreimpeccable with three servers. When asked about allergies, we disclosed a shellfish allergy, and a server came to talk about how they could accommodate we had ordered chips, and they offered to change the oil as it may have been used with shellfish. We ordered chips (fries) with Parmesan & beef fat mayo, a cheese platter, the strawberries dessert with two glasses of brut and cappuccinos. The cheese platter was tasty, nothing out of this world, but definitely a good cheese platter with onion preserves, four different cheeses, candied walnuts, dried fig and yummy crackers. The chips were very tasty, and the dessert was fabulous. The dessert tray had fresh strawberries, delicious butter cookies, meringue pieces and dips that included chocolate ganache, chantilly creme, lemon curd, and a pink chocolate. We all agreed that the pink chocolate wasn't very good and the strawberries were tasty but certainly not the best we've ever had. The portions are meant to be shared, and we all left not needing anything else to eat. The whole experience was very fun and indulgent. One thing Harrods needs to work on it making sure employees know that this lounge is actually in the store. We asked several employees and nobody knew there even was a champagne lounge. FYI it's on the 4th floor.

Located on Fourth Floor of Harrods adjacent to The Harrods Tea Rooms, the Perrier-Jouet Champagne…read moreTerrace is in an enclosed terrace featuring tables, tall tables, small sofas, and a bar. You can book reservations via Open Table. I ordered the Perrier-Jouet Blanc de Blancs NV but Harrods was out and they where not expecting shipment for a few weeks (in mid-December.) The noise (piano player and guests) in the Tea Rooms next door, overpowers the music in the Champagne Terrace. Then, the manager (an older gentleman) chewed the waitress/hostess out in Italian in front of the guests which was inappropriate and unprofessional. She had been lovely and did not deserve to be treated so disrespectfully. The food menu is nice and was delivered quickly. The chocolate and sea salt caramel tart is fabulous. The food that I ordered was fresh and well-prepared. I felt, however, the entire experience was way-overpriced for what you received. It was nice, however, to sit in the sun and get away from the hustle and bustle of a crowded Harrods store but the ambience isn't soothing and relaxing. www.harrods.com

When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.

QUESTION: Where can you go to get a five-star hotel's afternoon champagne tea for £20?…read more ANSWER: The Wyndham Grand at Chelsea Harbour. It's as simple as that, folks. Because of the Wyndham Grand's out-of-the-way Imperial Wharf location, you, too, could enjoy the epic spread of afternoon tea (with posh finger sandwiches, two homemade warm raisin scones with clotted cream and jam and a spread of individually sized sweet pastries and other treats - too much food for a single person to reasonably consume, I assure you) along with a glass of bubbly at a leisurely pace whilst taking in the view of the harbour and its (billionaires') boats. I'm not entirely sure why the afternoon tea is so cheap, but it is. Tea without champagne is a measly 15 quid. I booked a place for tea online and arrived to a quiet lounge area at 3:00pm, with Sunday brunch winding down in the adjacent restaurant. The table was set, and the polished and besuited server greeted me graciously. The low-seated couches and armchairs were large and cosy, and my companions and I sipped, munched, supped and gluttonously indulged for THREE HOURS. Service wasn't without its faults: the server was a bit nervous for whatever reason, but she was certainly friendly and gracious; my first pot of tea was loose leaf, as one would expect of afternoon tea at a five-star hotel, but my second pot had a teabag chucked in (although said tea in teabag was aromatic and delicious); water and/or tea refills weren't forthcoming, but the server would have fetched these things if asked. Despite these lapses in service (nit-picky though they are), overall, the experience and value for money were outstanding. SUMMARY: Go here if you're a local, you want an indulgent yet inexpensive afternoon tea, you don't want to combat crowds of tourists who may or may not think that the clotted cream belongs in their teacups.* _______________________________________________________ *Although I do know that by posting this review the afternoon tea at the Wyndham Grand may very well become more busy than it was on my first visit, I remain confident that it will maintain its atmosphere of exclusivity due to its less-accessible location.

I was running a bit…read morebehind schedule (*schedule* like how the Brits say it), about 30 minutes late, due to some poor planning and a bit of traffic. The restaurant called me and I returned their call to let them know I was still on my way. I felt like a total jerk for arriving so late, but the staff was incredibly welcoming. I decided to go solo for high tea, wanting to treat myself. They found me the perfect table where I could people-watch and enjoy the piano music from a comfortable distance. This high tea room is absolutely stunning and was made to be photographed. My waiter was incredibly patient and didn't judge me when I was taking pictures. In fact, he said that's what this room is meant for. There were a wide variety of teas, and I think the teas were the best part of the experience. The pastries were also delicious, but I didn't love any of the finger sandwiches. I'll definitely be back soon. Thanks for being so gracious despite my tardiness!

I went for a porn star martini, which was ok, but I've had far better elsewhere and a hella of a lot cheaper. The espresso martini was also very, very disappointing! All in all, not a great experience and won't be rushing back any time soon!

The lounge is perfect for an intimate date night with the low lighting and cozy couches. Parsnip (£24): Their take on the espresso martini! I hate that it's the best one I've ever had. I hate it because I don't live in London. I also hate that no one else to my knowledge has thought to add whipped cold foam to espresso martinis. A non-alcohol alternative was also listed with its respective ingredients (I assume this is wherever applicable), and I appreciated the inclusivity. Currant (£23): I believe this was their version of a Palermo! My friend really enjoyed it and didn't find it too tart. Both still and sparkling waters were £5.50. Service was lovely, and we didn't feel rushed as they were closing. We came on a Wednesday evening so we were seated immediately, but I bet the wait can get long on a weekend. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting London to experience their unique menu and drinks. Worth the $32 price point!
