This is so helpful, thank you! I've realised how much I didn't know!

Im a gent, but truly enjoyed this, presentation it is nice to see someone with the correct information on the web! Keep up the good work! your fan Count Kody

Unfortunately a tea drinking etiquette is almost lost in US. People prefer coffee from a paper cup. Everything is simplified and people forgot how to enjoy a decent drink.Thank you for keeping the amazing tradition.

I’m visiting London during Coronation Week and will be having an Afternoon Tea at the Dorchester Hotel, one of my lifelong dreams has been not only to see London but to have an Afternoon Tea in a posh hotel, I’m so looking forward to it, loved this video!

The napkin should be picked up, unfolded and placed on the lap, but not above the table level. A large dinner napkin is folded in half, with the fold facing the body, while the luncheon napkin should be opened completely. Do not wipe your mouth with the napkin; instead, blot it.

Lovely video. Just a note though that when placing the knife and fork onto the plate, the cutting edge of the knife should be facing inwards, not outwards as shown. This is done for safety reasons (so the cutting edge is not facing the fingers of the person picking up the used plate) and as a historical tradition of not having a sharp "weapon" facing towards a guest.

I just came across your channel. Thank you for your video. Very pleasant. My great-grandmother was from Devon. When she came to the States in 1906, she brought with her etiquette about tea time. She would always pour our tea for us. Wonderful memories. ❤

You are just lovely and this is so helpful, as I am staying in London at The Savoy this coming May 2023, and I plan on doing at least two teas - one afternoon tea and one high tea. Thank you so much for this helpful video. 😊

Wow!!!! The amount of stuff I learned in these ten mins is unparalleled! Please keep up the momentum and do more etiquette videos just like this one so it’s easier for us struggling ladies to mimic in real life. Thank you so so so so much!

The Langham! I went there with my little graddaughter for her 9th birthday. The pianist played Happy Birthday to Lola and everyone clappped. A memorable day. Wonderful attentive staff.

Wonderful this is what we were taught as social graces growing up ❤😊

I'm about to turn 25 and decided to be more elegant. Better late than never.

I’m definitely taking notes and you look so beautiful as always. 😘

Lol London is such a gem, just recently left there 6days ago. They have one of the best if not the best restaurants, best hotels, best tour/sightseeing great for vacation too. Definitely would recommend.👍

What a refined lady ... truly elegant! A couple of translations for Americans: "Crockery" - china, tea serving; "cutlery" - flatware, silverware, utensils.

Thank you so much this has been a big help for my upcoming Afternoon Tea🎉

Brilliant Video. Every lady (and gent) should take an etiquette class. These videos are very helpful, thank you.

Thank you. I saw in someone else's elegance video the robocop way you showed not to do with the silverware. I have learned something. I also did not know about putting the napkin on my seat if I would like to keep my plate and I need to get up. That one I may have just forgotten. I liked knowing about the proper way to serve and consume the tea and the scones and desserts. I got a lot out of this and I appreciate all of your videos.

I've dreamed of having afternoon tea at an elegant place in London. Thank you for this video. It would help me feel at ease when I finally go.

Thank you! I will be visiting England for the first time at the end of the summer and I am so looking forward to having a proper English afternoon tea.
