Świetny personel i jeszcze lepsze jedzenie! Dbałość o szczegóły i to, że zawsze czujesz się mile widziany i zadbany, to najlepsze doświadczenie, jakie miałem od lat.

Afternoon Tea at the British Museum

Nice sandwiches, scones and mini cakes. Much as expected. Only one cup of tea/coffee included. It was very warm in the restaurant and we ended up getting additional 1xcoffee, 1xtea and 2xspakling water for a total of £20-something. The best of it all was us skipping the hour long museum entry- que, as the afternoon tea vouchers gave access to a fast track Line. I didnt know tjat - maybe i didnot read the fine print. But that was Great! Maybe on a rainy day the venue is better.

Doświadczenie na London Eye było świetne. Dostęp do Muzeum Brytyjskiego i jego zwiedzanie było kłopotliwe. Było zbyt zatłoczone i nie można było oderwać się od zwiedzania
