London's Montague on the Gardens Introduces Historic Afternoon Tea Walks
Participants in these walks learn about some of the most significant landmarks in literary and Georgian Bloomsbury while engaging in the culture of the ever-popular traditional afternoon tea.

Nine tea walks will take place on various Sunday afternoons from May through October 2014. The tours depart the hotel at 12:30 p.m. and last for approximately one hour while visiting sites like The British Museum, The Cartoon Museum, Bloomsbury Square (one of London's first squares), The Brunei Gallery (exhibiting art from Africa and Asia) and The Weiner Library, which houses the world's leading archives on the Holocaust.

All tours are led by experienced guide Aly Mir, who has escorted more than 20,000 people on tours of London.

The tour concludes at the hotel, where guest are treated to The Montague on the Garden's award-winning afternoon tea in the hotel's conservatory.

The Montague on the Gardens lends itself perfectly to guests interested in history.
