The Best Places to Enjoy Afternoon Tea in London

London, our capital city and home to land of gentry. Here at The Luxury Editor we love everything that the hustle and bustle of London brings, but once in a while you just want to escape the squeeze, the people, the noise and sit back and eat sandwiches and drink tea like any fine Englishman does. We get down to London about once or twice a month and in between having a cocktail or two in Soho we like to eat cake, so here is our roundup of the best afternoon tea spots this fine city has to offer.

2. Claridge’s Hotel

With most guests needing to book more than three months in advance to secure a spot for afternoon tea at Claridge’s, it is clear that this is something really special worth waiting for. You will have your pick of more than 40 different teas, and the set afternoon tea times mean that everyone is seated at roughly the same time within the dining room. The menu is not large, but each item is perfect. Be sure to try the warm scones filled with apples and fresh raisins, and smother each with the sweet and rich fresh clotted cream. Also take note of the beautiful China that gets used for tea service, much of which is decades old and is impeccably cared for by staff.

Afternoon tea starts at £50.00 for the Classic Tea
