The 2012 London Marathon is set to grace the city’s capital next weekend (22 April) with more than 30,000 runners taking part in the 26.2 mile route. Winding through the city, crossing the Thames more than once, the marathon truly is a test of an athlete’s strength, endurance and determination.

However if taking part or negotiating through this epic event does not sound like your cup of tea, why not try one of Flemings’? Five different types of afternoon tea are served every afternoon in the quiet spaces of the hotel, sheltered by the leafy expanse of Green Park, tucked away on Half Moon Street. Marathon runner or not, everyone deserves some indulgence now and then.

To book your afternoon of indulgence please visit Flemings Hotel Mayfair
