The Magic of Aternoon-tea • Vintry & Mercer *****

💎 A magic-infused afternoon tea inside a 5-star hideout tucked into the City’s historic grid. Steps from Mansion House, between St Paul’s and the old merchant guilds, tea is served at DND, a speakeasy-style bar. On the table: truffled egg mayo in brioche, smoked salmon with horseradish, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, then scones with jam and clotted cream. The sweet chapter goes all-in on storytelling: white chocolate and blueberry owls, “Excalibur’s Sword” as a white chocolate–mango cheesecake, a coffee-chocolate-almond “Book of Spells” opera, and a “Box of Bones” filled with chocolate soil.
