Served in the drawing room of Brown's Hotel - the inspiration for Agatha Christie's At Bertram's Hotel - afternoon tea at Brown's is a quintessential English experience. Established in 1837, Brown's is London's oldest hotel - and still one of its finest. You sit in luxurious leather armchairs, in a welcoming oak panelled room as a pianist tickles the ivories and endless pots of tea, sandwiches without crusts, tiered stands of cakes and pastries, and scones with huge dollops of clotted cream are brought for your dining pleasure. In fact, so legendary has Brown's afternoon tea become that guests traditionally plan their day so as to be in easy reach of the hotel at teatime. Tables cannot be reserved by non-hotel guests, so do arrive early. And well turned out - jeans, shorts and trainers are not permitted.
