Piccadilly’s iconic hotel, The Dilly, has given its London afternoon tea a Christmas revamp with the launch of its limited-edition festive afternoon tea menu, available from 18th November in the hotel’s magnificent Terrace at The Dilly.

The menu will feature the original line up of London landmark inspired sweet treats with a seasonal twist.
