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 £55 with more top of the range £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.

Vegan sushi might sound unusual, but it is definitely a thing. Restaurants nowadays have become incredibly creative in crafting beautiful and delicious vegan sushi rolls that will give you pause. Vegan sushi can also serve as a great alternative for those who enjoy those flavours but aren’t big fans of raw fish. I have a couple of friends who aren’t vegan but actually prefer vegan sushi over fish sushi as they find it to be less intense. Another consideration is the cost. So, I’d say it’s a win-win combination. I’ve compiled a list of some of my favourite vegan-friendly sushi restaurants in and around central London. Some of them are more affordable, while others are a bit more upscale. There’s absolutely no compromise on taste, but the ambience and service may vary.
