We’re giving away an afternoon tea experience for two adults and two children at the Strand Palace Hotel in central London, near Covent Garden tube station. The hotel has teamed up with Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop, a 100-year-old store selling vintage and retro toys and games, to create a family-friendly afternoon tea running until the end of the year.
Adults and kids alike will delight in the wonderfully British afternoon tea selection, which includes finger sandwiches, plain and fruit scones, sweet treats and pastries inspired by fairy tales, and a selection of assorted loose-leaf teas.
Children will also receive an exclusive Benjamin Pollock’s Christmas Toyshop Tea goody bag, which includes a themed colouring sheet with pencils, a Victorian-inspired paper cut-out pantomime, a surprise toy and a Pollock’s voucher which can be redeemed for an in-store lucky dip prize or a 20% discount.
