Where: The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell
Cost: £33 with tea, £40.50 with a cocktail, £43 with Champagne.
Best for: A touch of eccentric decadence
The Zetter Townhouse is all about character, so prepare to settle down for tea at your weird rich uncle's home, complete with curiosities, old books, taxidermy, and comfy furnishings. When you choose your afternoon tea, you can pick from specialities from either Uncle Seymour (who had us at the truffled sausage roll) or Auntie Wilhelmina (whose offerings are a little more traditional). Both come with the requisite scones and cakes, plus an extensive drinks list including the wonderful nettle gimlet.
