Known for her pink suit and her ability to let nothing get in the way of her saving the planet, Lady Penelope is one of television's most iconic heroines.

As well as being the most stylish puppet to hit the small screen, the Thunderbirds character has now inspired an afternoon tea, and it's just as glamorous as you might imagine.

To celebrate the first annual Thunderbirds Day on Saturday, September 30, InterContinental London at The O2 has teamed up with ITV to host a Lady Penelope Afternoon Tea in the hotel's Meridian Lounge.

As to be expected, there's a strong pink theme, with treats including a Tracy Island-inspired coconut and pineapple dessert, a bonbon torte and, best of all, Lady Penelope-monogrammed macarons.

There are also two cocktails on offer to accompany the selection of teas, sandwiches and sweet snacks.

The Thunderbirds-inspired feast isn't the only themed tea to arrive in the capital in recent weeks.

There's a Wicked-themed tea at the Mandarin Oriental, and one London café has been inundated with bookings since it launched its Aladdin-themed afternoon tea.

Is Lady P more your style? The Lady Penelope tea can be booked for £31 at afternoontea.co.uk, but you'll need to visit before October 30 when the event finishes.
