Afternoon Tea: The Met Bar, London

All this pomp and ceremony around the royal wedding making you want to unleash your inner rebel? The Met Bar in London's Mayfair is dishing up an 'An-Tea Establishment' afternoon tea, featuring contemporary twists on retro Brit classics.

Available until 8th May, you can expect trifle served in shot glasses, rhubarb and custard cupcakes, and strawberries and cream macarons. There'll also be all sorts of savoury treats, including warm Wensleydale and pickle muffins, plus a punk-rock soundtrack to accompany your cocktail-supping.

If you want somewhere to avoid the hype and hysteria on Friday, you could do much worse. Prices from £27 per person.
