"A couple of months ago, I got a most-exciting tweet from Sunny In London informing me that I had won a competition she ran in conjunction with Zomato. And the prize? A 24 Karat Gold Afternoon Tea at the luxurious St James Court Taj Hotel. And so after years of believing I’d eventually win a competition – I did! The staff gave proactive, helpful suggestions and showed a professionalism and courtesy that impressed me. 24 Karat class was apparent throughout the afternoon both metaphorically with this service and literally, with elegant gold leaf sprinkled with sophistication across the delicacies served. It was hard selecting a tea from their vast array of white, black and green teas, as all sounded tempting in the soggy December air. Between us, we ordered an aromatic, spiced Indian Chai and a sneak peek inside revealed a busy teapot harbouring star anise, orange peel and cloves amongst other things. My mango green tea held a light and fragrant note that floated across the table and evoked memories of fresh mangoes my sister and I ate by the dozen on childhood holidays in India. Ordinarily at this stage, one discusses the sandwiches but what I loved at this tea was this supreme plate of savoury magic was so much more than that. Aside from the Chorizo, black mustard and Comte sandwich on display, we were also treated to a homemade beetroot bread and minted cucumber pinwheel, egg mayonaise with golden quail’s egg, smoked salmon with caviar on rye bread and a mixed vegetable tartlet. I must admit I preferred this to the conventional sandwich platter, a little fresher and less dense on the post-Christmas belly. (NB, the savoury menu we were served seems to have been updated as compared to the website menu at the time of writing this post so check with the restaurant if you have any queries . Shortly before embarking upon our sweet treats, they re-affirmed just how classy an afternoon tea this would be with a refreshing marinated plum, thyme and rosemary compote palate cleanser. And then the moment of truth arrived (let’s be honest, when you say the word afternoon tea, it’s really the cakes and scones that spring to mind! . The desserts were nothing short of beautiful, oozing elegance and decadence. An array of mini scones at the base (raisin, plain and chocolate chip , which were irresistibly soft and moist to perfection. I’d have liked them ever so slightly warmer but I’m not sure whether this was because they were brought out lukewarm or whether they were nicely warm and I just spent too long taking photographs! Either is quite feasible! The desserts included a white chocolate dome with popping candy, a strawberry tart, champagne jelly with raspberry foam and a white chocolate lollipop and last but not least, a mini opera cake, which was more akin to an artistic masterpiece than a dessert. With over a decade of afternoon teas in London under my belt, I am wary of turning into that overly critical Londoner, no longer capable of being wowed by this quintessentially British experience that I have always loved so much. But when you come across a place that masters taste, presentation, customer service, and quality as well as Kona at St James Court, you can breathe a sigh of relief that it still retains the same magic as it did the very first time."

Winding through the corridors and buildings of St James’s Court Hotel, I wondered if we would ever discover the elusive Kona. Eventually, after walking through the pretty outdoor courtyard, we entered a small understated restaurant that gave off an air of elegance.

With it’s famous stunning Shakespearean courtyard and Victorian masterpieces you can easily be fooled to being in a completely different country other than London. The distinctive luxury Taj hotel at St James Court yard between Buckingham Palace and the House of Parliament makes an obvious choice to enjoy some afternoon tea.

The other night, a few of my friends and I enjoyed a childhood classic - The Jungle Book - during a luxurious private dining experience at St James Court. The setting was outdoors, on a terrace with a stunning view of the fountain in the center of the picturesque Hofes des Hotels, surrounded by red brickworks reminiscent of scenes from Shakespeare's plays.

The Taj Hotel has joined the trend of offering unique variations of traditional afternoon tea. In addition to the typical sandwiches, scones, and cakes, they serve a 24 karat gold afternoon tea where the tea is adorned with decadent gold leaf. This special twist sets them apart from other restaurants that offer traditional afternoon tea options. While they do not include jewelry with every order, the luxurious touch of gold adds an extra level of indulgence to the experience.

I enjoyed my experience at St. James' Court, a Taj Group hotel that exudes old-fashioned luxury. There was a real pianist playing, and I appreciated that there were no young people swarming around with iPads. I was invited to review the "Jungle Book Culinary Experience" at St. James' Court and wasn't sure what to expect. The hotel described it as a fusion of Indian and Christmas cuisine inspired by traditional dishes from India, with quirky dressings inspired by characters from the Jungle Book. The menu featured dishes like Mowgli's sweet biryani and Shere Khan's lamb rogan josh, prepared by some of London's top Indian chefs. The food was delicious, from the starters to the desserts. The the...

Our yellow brick road begins with a walk to the St James Court, a Taj Hotel. You probably don’t need a map to figure out that it’s right near the ‘house’ of her Royal Highness. Your tea begins with a beautiful bottle of bubbly, and of course a selection of tea. I sipped on the English Breakfast tea during my feast. However, the Kir Royale tea was truly tempting. 24 Karat Gold Afternoon Tea Menu: Scones Plain and raisin scones with strawberry preserve and Cornish clotted cream Cakes and Pastries Gold leaf opera cake Strawberry tart with gold flakes Champagne and gold leaf jelly Macaroon with lemon mousseline White chocolate delight with gold leaves Finger Sandwiches Smoked salmon pinwheel Par...
