Claridge's welcome Winnie the Pooh and friends for afternoon tea

Time for tea: the cast at Claridge's
LIAM ARTHUR

When you’re about to star on the big screen, what better way to celebrate than afternoon tea at Claridge’s?

The Mayfair hotel played host to Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore ahead of the release of the Christopher Robin movie today.

Staff ensured there was plenty of honey on hand, as well as the usual pots of tea and plates of cake, all served on signature green and white crockery.

The photoshoot used the actual stuffed animals that appear alongside Ewan McGregor and Hayley Atwell in the film. The characters are voiced by stars including Toby Jones, Peter Capaldi, Sophie Okonedo and Jim Cummings, who is both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

McGregor plays a grown-up Christopher Robin — based on the son of Pooh author AA Milne — who finds happiness again after reuniting with his childhood companions.
