CLOUD 23 in the Hilton is closed right now while they give it a sleek new makeover. But this weekend, you can get an early glimpse of the new bar while indulging in one of their legendary afternoon teas.

The West Lounge section of the bar is now complete – so they're taking bookings for afternoon tea only, this Saturday and Sunday (20 and 21 October), from midday to 5pm. The rest of the bar will still be kept under wraps.

Afternoon Tea at Cloud 23 is one of the city's best. The cakes are delicate, intricate, and delicious. The savouries are mini works of art. And the views are unsurpassed.

We can't tell you about the décor because we haven't seen it yet. Be one of the first – book now for afternoon tea at Cloud 23 this weekend.

It's £19.95 per person including savouries (sandwiches, tartlets, pasties), four types of cake, freshly-baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and a wide selection of tea and coffee.

It'll be popular – book now to avoid disappointment.
