Had the pleasure of enjoying afternoon tea at Capital M one Saturday, where the overall experience in my opinion more than stands up to the infinitely more revered and expensive institutions around the world. The views out across the square are simply fabulous, though sadly a little obscured if you are dining inside by a large safety barrier on the other side of the window which seems a very bad design fault.

Great selection of tea from English breakfast through to some more exotic flavours, though not so extensive as to be baffling. The sandwiches are standard fayre, but the cakes and scones are worth the price alone. I don't usually have a sweet tooth but after polishing off the food, I was compelled to order an extra portion of scones.That are simply that good, and the clotted cream is the real deal, absolutely delicious.

At around 250 RMB for the afternoon tea, plus an extra serving of scones and a second pot, this is a bargain considering the quality and the location

Service is excellent, can't really fault anything about the experience!
