The setting is sublime, you sit amid the footballer wife shoppers in the victoria Quarter. here you are in the perfect position to assess the perma tan's and fake hair and nails.
to accompany your people watch you might like to take afternoon tea here. It's pricey, but well worth it. Tea and cakes and scones (yes the 'perfect' accompanyment to cakes; more cakes!) make up a little afternoon decadence. I highly recommend opting for the champagne option. Hey if you're going to hang out amongst such pretentiousness you may as well do it in style. And do it in style myself and my dining companion did. You get an awful LOT for just the two of you, so skip lunch and you certainly shall not need dinner. Instead a nice hazy sugar high takes hold as you can gently roll your way back into the main Harvey Nic's store to stare some more at last seasons Gucci leather jacket and sample some scent from the over orange cosmetic counter ladies.
No need to spend any more; afternoon tea is enough to begin to break the bank and is less likely to be left in the back of the wardrobe.
Another less costly decadence that i've also enjoyed are the date flapjacks. And if you so wish you can order these with champagne too.
