Number Sixteen (South Kensington)

• I was trying to find a nice spot for a Friday afternoon tea with my sister with nice outdoors (after the miserable week of rain) and I came across number 16
• The hotel is such a beautiful cosy place with really friendly staff
• Because it was Friday afternoon
• The outdoors gardens was really peaceful
• The overall experience was really good
• I was thrilled to have my sister over with me for the weekend
• Last time we had been together was in our weekend away in Bordeaux
• I took Friday afternoon off and decided to treat us with a nice outdoors english tea
• The hotel decor is really lovely
• My friend and I visited as a birthday treat and we were so impressed
• We walked into the restaurant without a reservation but were accommodated and only after a 5 minute wait were shown to our table
• A slim room but with lots of windows and mirrors and felt so airy
• The tables were not packed tightly and the tables were all dressed with linen tableware and beautiful china
• The wait staff were attentive but not obtrusive
• We had the standard afternoon tea and it was served with a selection of sandwiches
• We really enjoyed the warm delicious scones served with clotted cream and jam
• The piece de resistance was the delightfully scrumptious lemon macaroons
• Who helped us that afternoon was absolutely brilliant
• The whole experience was so lovely and special and I would recommend it to anyone
