What people say

"The Queen Bee of Afternoon Tea is the Ritz. Its world renowned and they have their own 'tea master' who travels around the world to source the huge variety of loose leaf tea they have on offer. Prices start at Β£76 per person. There is a strict dresscode and men must wear a suit/tie and women must be smart although I don't believe dresses are required. There is a pianist. Most traditional Afternoon Tea's will have a piano player of some sort. "
"Often regarded as the best afternoon tea in London - my friend who is an aficionado gives it a 10/10!"

Favourite places for Afternoon Tea in London, UK from a local whose lived here over 20 years. I've included a list of places we still want to go which is quite a few. Going to afternoon tea is quite a new thing for us that we only started doing the last 4-5 years. The average price for afternoon tea starts at Β£55 with more top of the range Β£75+ per person. Dress code varies but I would not show up in jeans or tennis shoes. You can do smart casual for many places but do check the websites when you book for dress code. There are some more formal places like the Ritz/Savoy that you could be turned away if you don't come dressed appropriately. Afternoon Tea is meant to be savoured and taken time over. Do not rush but do ask how long you have the table for as you may be asked to leave for the servers to prepare for the next sitting. You should start with the sandwiches and then move to any scones and then end with the pastries. You can often try multiple different teas in one setting. My partner and I often get through 2 pots of tea and try different ones each time. The more traditional afternoon tea the more likely you'll be getting sandwiches like egg and cress and scones with clotted cream. There are themed afternoon teas out there from Mad Hatter, Peter Pan, Indian and seasonal ones like for Easter and Christmas. 11 suggestions for afternoon tea. Will be constantly updating this so do watch. At the moment these suggestions are free but obviously tips appreciated! I try to put a lot of thought and effort into my guides and suggestions.
