The Science Museum has just launched an exciting science-themed afternoon tea at its Gallery Café in South Kensington.
About
The pre-bookable afternoon teas are available from Wednesdays to Sundays between 12:00 and 15:00; two hours are given for a sitting. Benugo chefs have created separate menus for adults and children, the latter encouraging budding scientists to combine flavours and textures to devise their own culinary creations.
For £22, the childrens’ menu includes scones, a petri dish of jelly, cakes, cookies, sandwiches, lemonade and test tubes and beakers of ingredients to experiment with.
For £32, adults can enjoy Earl Grey-soaked scones, cakes, cookies, a petri dish of jelly, sandwiches and an unlimited selection of teas and coffees.
The Science Museum
The Science Museum is located in South Kensington and is close to the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Natural History Museum and the Royal Albert Hall. Founded in 1857, the collection’s highlights include Helen Sharman’s space suit, Black Arrow R4 launch vehicle, Crick and Watson’s DNA molecular model, Caroline Herschel’s telescope, Marconi 1.5kw transmitter, Amy Johnson’s Gypsy Moth and Boulton and Watt’s rotative beam engine.
