Expect to suffer wallpaper envy as you enter the ground-floor bar and then head down to this cabaret-cum-burlesque club, located, rather bizarrely, not far from Chancery Lane tube in the heart of the City.
Those daring enough to descend into the basement can expect to enjoy some of the best cabaret talent in town from tables set beneath absinthe-inspired vines. Afternoon Tease combines burlesque with high tea most Saturday afternoons; other events look back as far as the Jazz Age for inspiration.
The food's pricey - fettuccine with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes for £16.50 seems a little steep - but the cocktails, both traditional and modern, are more reasonable at around £8 apiece.

It was quite a deception. Food is very poor for the price. The show was Ivy Page, quite boring. We were very surprised when the girls started taking their clothes off! They should really prevent about this as not everyone feels comfortable in this situation. We expected some kind of inteligent comedy,not nudity.
We paid £135
