I hate that they named the tearoom Dolly's! I have loved the series...knew the tragic ending, but Season 3 found me yelling at tv screen trying to save him from himself! I love his marketing brain....would love to have tea with him and chat marketing strategies! So glad you were able to go...what lasting memories!Donna and Miss Spenserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582729278696300535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-33985543864737406072015-05-19T20:44:56.512-04:002015-05-19T20:44:56.512-04:00I also watch Mr. Selfridge so I really enjoyed see...I also watch Mr. Selfridge so I really enjoyed seeing your afternoon tea at Dolly's. <br /><br />It was interesting to learn from one of the PBS specials that a Canadian family, the Westons, purchased Selfridges in the early 2000s!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing more of your London tea adventures!Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216292186501923706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-5848949938805767442015-05-19T17:24:30.918-04:002015-05-19T17:24:30.918-04:00What great photos you took of your wonderful trip....What great photos you took of your wonderful trip. My hubby and I have rewatched season 3 and felt sad about the outcome of so many characters. We finally made a list of those who made "good choices" in the end. The Dolly Twins are in that final episode when Harry goes to gamble. Your Afternoon Tea looks delightful there in that tea room.Bernideenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323630851115338825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-53363886361804666322015-05-19T17:09:44.759-04:002015-05-19T17:09:44.759-04:00You are so lucky to make it to Selfridge's. I ...You are so lucky to make it to Selfridge's. I too am a big fan of the series. We were staying right around the corner at a Marriott and walked down Oxford St not realizing it was there, and took photos of the huge clock tower. But I never saw the name on the building because it was London Fashion Week and their huge banners covered the entire front. So sadly I didn't know it. I would have loved to buy some Selfridge's Tea as a memento, as I did from other locations we went to. <br />Enjoy! <br />ValTime Traveling in Costumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353351035426201805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-9705786011170137562015-05-19T14:06:40.218-04:002015-05-19T14:06:40.218-04:00I'm taking notes!

My sisters and I are planning a trip to England to visit the place where we lived in Surrey in the late 60's, then on to Beatrix Potter's Hilltop Farm and Jane Austen's home . And, of course, a few days in London!The Victorian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771406484767173643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-86904359805726963632015-05-19T10:50:00.019-04:002015-05-19T10:50:00.019-04:00What a wonderful adventure, Phyllis! You and your ...What a wonderful adventure, Phyllis! You and your daughter no doubt had a marvelous time in London. The food at the tea room looks absolutely delicious. I haven't seen Mr Selfridge but his story sounds fascinating. Now that Hubby and I are all caught up on Downton Abbey, we would like another British show to watch. Since I really enjoy watching stories based on true life, I know I would enjoy this series. We will be checking it out for sure. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and joining me for tea.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-73573680993502295442015-05-19T10:24:59.373-04:002015-05-19T10:24:59.373-04:00As a viewer of the Mr. Selfridge series myself, yo...As a viewer of the Mr. Selfridge series myself, your comments led me to Google for more information about him as well as the Dolly Sisters.

I remember last year when we went, I was in a fog because of sleep deprivation! LOVE that you got Ruth to help you out with the tube mapping.

I remember when the Dolly tea room opened in the store...a bit of a scandal because of they'r part in Selfridge's downfall...Selfridge's store was going thru an outre' phase...but it's become an institution. I should have sent you an Oyster card I have around with 20 pounds on it...never thought!
