Afternoon Tea Awards 2018 Winner - Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea

Experience Afternoon Tea with a twist at Rosewood London and indulge in their award winning Art Afternoon Tea. This inventive menu inspired by London's vibrant and energetic art scene has been awarded Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea at the 2017 and 2018 Afternoon Tea Awards.

Executive Pastry Chef Mark Perkins- who is quickly establishing himself as the master of art-inspired creations- has on this occasion drawn inspiration from the distinctive styles of Cubism and Pop Art.

Cubism is an abstract artistic style pioneered by Pablo Picasso in the early 1900s. It is one of the aesthetics that later inspired iconic artists such as Andy Warhol in the 1950s, who initiated the hugely popular Pop Art movement. Embark on a culinary journey through these renowned styles, sampling a selection of six expertly made pastries inspired by the artists that popularised them.

Three of the pastries are inspired by the abstract forms and shapes of the Cubist style, including works by Picasso. The Pop Art-inspired pastries are the culinary translations of iconic works by Roy Lichenstein, Andy Warhol and Yayoi Kusama.

Afternoon Tea is served in the exquisitely designed and intimate Mirror Room. This jewel box of a dining room features floor-to-ceiling decorative mirrors, low lighting and lounge style seating that sets the scene for a relaxed and social dining experience.

A modern classic within a charming 1914 Edwardian heritage property, Rosewood London is situated near Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House, West End theatres and the main shopping districts.
