According to the hotel, it was also once the home of Viscount Lanesborough, for whom the property is named.

Lanesborough Hotel's "Bridgerton" afternoon tea was created in partnership with Netflix and Shondaland. It runs until November 2022 for roughly $78 per person and costs $14 more to include a special Pall Mall Cocktail.

Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) is constantly surrounded by white roses in season one to represent her innocence. Whereas in season two, Lilacs, which are also purple flowers, become a reoccurring theme to represent love.

Each family in the show has a particular set of family colors.

In episode 3, Colin (Luke Newton) gives his brother Benedict (Luke Thompson) hallucinogenic tea to help the worrying artist relax. Fortunately, my tea only contained caffeine when I added sugar.

Each season, Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) picks one woman out of all the un-wed women in London to be her Diamond of the season, which enhances a person's chances of getting married. In season two, Edwina (Charithra Chandran) was selected despite not attending the official gathering in front of the Queen.

The "Bridgerton"-themed afternoon tea, which runs until November 2022 at The Lanesborough, costs around $78 per person, while traditional afternoon tea costs about $76 per person at Harrods and $82 per person at The Ritz London.
