One of the finest and favorite new traditions in London is Prêt-À-Portea, which takes place daily between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m., at the seriously upscale Berkeley hotel. Most appropriately billed as "a fashionista's afternoon tea," Prêt-À-Portea is a traditional tea service highlighted by a range of specialty teas like Pear Caramel, African Amber, and White Peony stylishly complemented by a variety of "cakes and fancies" in the colors of the current fashion season and inspired by the style of the world's leading designers. For a bit of extra magic guests can add a few glasses of fine champagne to the tea service to really take an afternoon over the top. It's positively sublime and a favorite of A-listers like Victoria Beckham, Kylie Minogue, and George Michael.
