Maplin Photo Walk and Afternoon Tea at Brigit’s Bakery, Covent Garden, London
Brigit’s Bakery at Covent Garden are a very popular choice for Afternoon Tea, especially the one aboard their London sighseeing bus.
Memories of my first-ever Afternoon Tea aboard a London Bus!
I had an opportunity to enjoy the lovely Afternoon Tea by BB’s Bakery, aboard their bus. It was an event organised by Friends of Glass and the theme was matching Beer with various kinds of Foods. If you would like a quick browse of my post covering this beer matching event head to my blog post here.
Maplin, the popular chain of stores which offers computing and electronics as part of their varied offerings invited me alongwith a few othere select bloggers on a Photo Walk across Central London. To guide us through how to improve our photography we had the pleasure of meeting Kaye Ford from Fortogrpahy who took us on a photo walk across Covent Graden and adjoining areas. This event concluded with us relaxing at Brigit’s Bakery and enjoying a lovely Afternoon Tea. If you would like to read in detail about the Maplin Photio Walk event I was invited to, then please do check out myblog post here.
Brigit’s Bakery, Covent Garden – Afternoon Tea Experience
Brigit’s Bakery is always busy, a great sign and why not, they serve their delicious Afternoon Tea on the very pretty floral crockery. I absolutely love collecting Vintage crockery and this was a dream table setting for me!
Talk about being insta-worthy, the whole experience is just that! I had requested a GF Tea and was very impressed with the service. The portion-sizes were very generous and desserts were very yummy. From my previous experience of their Afternoon Tea on a Bus, I remember the salmon and cream cheese blinis which I had immensely enjoyed!
We were seated in the basement so the lighting was not ideal, if you want to book into this seated indoor experience try and get a table upstairs or then carry an extra light to add that pop to your photos, Thank me later 🙂
I always enjoy a good Herbal infusion with my savoury treats during a Tea experience and I was glad that we had lovely teapot fulls of these laid out for us. Of course, after the Photo Walk and especially after walking through China Town our appetite had been whetted so we were glad to be welcomed with Prosecco and a long table heaving with treats. There was a very good selection of cakes and tarts and meringues. No prizes for guessing that my favourite savoury bite included the salmon offering. The scones with clotted cream and jam were satisfying and moreish.
Of course as it was a group of bloggers we were definitely very intrested in clicking photos and making Insta-worthy Vidoes of our pretty crockery and yummy food! And I managed to get this ”phto-within-a-photo” picture using a tip shared by Kaye on pur photo walk earlier 🙂
And this is yet another Afternoon Tea experience in London that I will enjoy reminiscing about, especially everytime I am back on the look-out for food photography props or browsing Charity Shops for Vintage finds.
