Enjoying high tea on a visit to London is a quintessential experience! But do you want old-world classics, or something a bit more modern? This guide has plenty of options to suit every style and budget. 

Want to skip the finger sandwiches in favor of something more exotic? Skip down to the Tea with a Twist category! 

If you're on a budget, I try to highlight which are more affordable. I've also included a few "cream tea" options, which aren't high tea; it's tea and scones at a reduced price but giving a casual version of the experience. 

Making the Most of Your Experience

Reservations are essential, especially at the classic spots. You simply can't plan to walk in these days. You may get lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
