The Rosebery, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park
The pastry lover’s tea
The Rosebery is the cream, high-ceilinged salon of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park with a view of the park, and its afternoon tea is the one London pastry people rank first for the quality of the pieces.
The salon looks onto the riders of Hyde Park; the tea is built by one of the largest pastry brigades in London with a modern, seasonal tier, low sugar, and scones baked in small batches through the afternoon. The savoury tier is generous and the tea list long.
It is easier to book than the Ritz or Claridge’s and the window tables are worth asking for.
