The amazingly attentive waitress explained to us that Dior approached The Berkeley to create a fashion themed afternoon tea and as this was my second visit, I'm not that surprised.
The first was during London Fashion week a few years ago and true to their usual form, all the cakes matched accessories and clothing that had just strutted down runway.
Check out our first visit here.
The Berkeley itself faces a gorgeous row of immaculate London townhouses in Knightsbridge, you could sit and people watch (with champers in hand sweetie darling) for hours!
A nice touch to the set up was the scattered Dior home fragrances, candles and books but not like exiting via the gift shop style, none of these items were for sale. They just helped to immerse you into Mr Christian Dior's world, along with the choice of flower on the tables. One that had grown in his parents French villa garden.
The cakes looked almost too good to eat . . . . . but we actually had no problem in devouring them one at a time. The teeny tiny red Lady Dior bag being a particular favourite, air light red velvet cake that melted in you mouth yum!
We of course kept standards classy with our Bar jacket chocolate biscuit photo! (see below). Sorry (not sorry) if we killed the high end vibe for diners around us.
The whole experience was fantastic and faultless. If you are heading to the V&A to see the Dior designer of dreams exhibition, be sure to book your afternoon tea at The Berkeley before or after.
