TIMES: 12:45pm – 2:30pm or 2:45pm – 4:30pm

As one of London's most intriguing historic properties, particularly during the 1940s, when Churchill famously held secret meetings at the St. Ermin's to set up the Special Operations Executive – the St. Ermin's team have been inspired by all that was and is great about Britain to provide a vintage backdrop and theme for a spectacular Mother's Day afternoon tea celebration. Churchill would surely approve, as he held his mother in the highest esteem. To quote: “My mother made a brilliant impression upon my childhood life. She shone for me like the evening star".
