We sat in the corner of The Parlour on a small round table by the impressive leather-clad doors, which was full to the brim on the Sunday afternoon we visited. Formerly of Galvin at Windows, she has taken inspiration from the rich and spicy notes of the British perfumier’s luxury scents. The Festive Afternoon Tea follows on from the property’s Platinum Jubilee Tea in the summer and the recently unveiled James Bond-themed menu, created by Great Scotland Yard Hotel’s Spanish Head Pastry Chef, Verónica Garrido Martínez. Until the New Year, guests can try out the property’s unique multi-sensory afternoon tea, devised in partnership with Floris London, a Royal Warrant holder and the oldest English retailer of fragrances. Today, the historic brick building offers around 150 beautifully appointed bedrooms and suites, and a choice of eateries, including the Parlour, which was the location of our visit. The iconic 1820s Grade II listed building, which sits between Trafalgar Square and the River Thames on Great Scotland Yard Street, tucked away behind Northumberland Avenue, was home to the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police for over 60 years until 1890. In the run-up to Christmas, ’tis the season where hotels launch their festive afternoon tea offerings, and the five-star Great Scotland Yard Hotel, which is part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, is no exception. Simon Wittenberg heads to Great Scotland Yard Hotel to sample its new Festive Afternoon Tea, which is in partnership with Floris London. ![]()
