Very last min London trip

Hi!:D

I'm thinking of taking my daughter to see Lady in Black this weekend in London as well as an afternoon tea. Does anyone know where I can find good sites that do both? I've tried last minute/superbreak and also I found it on buy a gift but because I won't to use it asap I don't think its suitable.

Anyone know of any other sites?

Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!

Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more

    For afternoon tea book direct; the Berkeley do a great girly tea with everything in the shape of dresses, bags etc. http://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/fashionista_tea.aspx

    We loved it, much nicer than the Savoy or the Ritz.

    I believe the above is also good and they don't do reservations.

    http://www.afternoontea.co.uk/ has some good links to various offers for afternoon tea in London.

    Depending on your budget I can recommend the Strand Palace Hotel (which is quite near the theatre where Woman in Black is on) or the Montcalm Hotel, which is a bit more expensive than the Strand and a bit further away from the theatre but very nice inside and the afternoon tea is really good.

    ETA that you can get two top price tickets for the Saturday matinee for £52 if you have a National Rail train ticket: http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/the-woman-in-black

  • Liberty is fantastic for afternoon tea and isn't that far away, plus it's an iconic building which is worth looking around, as well as being next door to Carnaby Street etc...
