Afternoon tea is an English tradition that is a great thing to experience while visiting. On Saturday I went to the Charlotte Street Hotel for afternoon tea. When I arrived I noticed they had a special going on for lobster that could be split for two at only 50 GBPs. I decided to have the afternoon tea while my brother and his girlfriend had the lobster. They had a selection of tea to choose from and I went with the jasmine tea and it was delicious. Along with the tea I got two scones, four finger sandwiches, a slice of banana bread, a fruit tart, a pastry, a cupcake, and a fruit cup a assorted berries. It was an amazing meal and I definitely suggest going if taking a trip here.


It just so happened that Saturday was gay pride day. As we spent our time walking around Covent Garden after tea we saw many people out for the event. People were walking around with bright colors on and their hair dyed with all sorts of colors. They had a festival going on in Soho Square with loud music and dancing. A parade took place later on that night and there was a party that night. It was quite an experience to see because my small town does not have festivals or parades unless they are the traditional ones that we have had for many years.


My weekend was great and I got to experience a little more of the culture. If coming to visit make sure not only to go to amazing sights but also include time for cultural activities also. I accidently left my camera at my house when I ventured out, so I do not have any pictures for this weekend but I will make sure I have a picture for you tomorrow. Keep checking and don't forget to post a comment.
