I’ve had plenty of afternoon teas in London, but I don’t think I’ve had one where they serve it to you in courses as you would a meal. The Cadogan Hotel, just a short walk from Sloane Square in Chelsea, manages to be both luxurious and cosy when it comes to its afternoon tea space, with a cocktail bar, comfy chairs and seasonally changing decorations.

The food at this afternoon tea has been created by well-known author and pastry chef Benoit Blin, who was a judge on The Great British Bake Off, along with a selection of teas by Newby Teas. The hotel is also dog-friendly and Rosie, my guide dog, was even given her own plate of dog cookies to snack on and a bowl of water.

We opted for the full experience, starting off with a glass of refreshing tarragon lemonade before moving onto English sparking wine.
