I celebrated my birthday with afternoon tea at The Library at County Hall, and it was a lovely experience. From the beginning, all the staff were very attentive, friendly and responsive. They brought out a special birthday dessert with a candle, on the house, and wrote a thoughtful birthday message in a card - which was a lovely surprise and made my birthday special. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, with different flavours, and the scones were fresh and not too sweet and tasted great with the fresh vegan cream and fresh jam. The other pastries and desserts were amazing, they tasted fresh and light. It was very relaxing sitting there with a view out to the Houses of Parliament and the Thames, and was fairly quiet though I did go on a weekday Thursday so may be busier on weekends. Thanks for a great birthday afternoon tea to all the staff at the Library!
