Hi guys! Going to London next weekend for a few days and reallllly want to try some afternoon tea. I heard so much about! I really liked pret a portea but it's booked for my time there. Does anyone have any suggestions???? I'd like it to be a really nice atmosphere as well. Dates: feb 16-19 Budget: none Location: I'm staying at hotel indigo london tower hill and London Syon Park Hotel. So anything near there would be great but wouldn't mind driving 30 mins. Thank you!!!!!
Claridges, the Ritz, the Dorchester. There are quite a few articles listing people's top 10, I googled 'afternoon tea london'. Driving 30 mins in London may only get you to the end of the road! Seriously the tube is much better than driving around central London, if you drove you'd have the congestion charge to pay, parking fees, navigating your way, angry drivers and a lot of traffic jams. Before you go look out for on-line voucher deals, you may find a good offer.

Lots of choice. To name but a few: The Berkley The Lanesborough Claridge's The Ritz Fortnum & Mason The Dorchester The Atheneum - awarded 2012 Award by the Tea Guild Brown's Hotel - also do a detox sort of tea i.e. low carbs and sugar, etc. Sanderson Hotel Chesterfield Hotel Fan Museum The Tea Room - Stoke Newington Harrod's The Savoy The Langham Sotheby's - the auction house The Orangerie - Kensington Garden That's just a few. Prices range from ridiculous (most of them) to reasonable e.g. Fan Museum, Tea Room and The Orangery. The Mandarin Hotel serves a Chinese-type afternoon tea!

Time Out did a selection for afternoon tea here - timeout.com/london/food-drin... Not too sure how up to date the list is as I couldn't find a date on the article. Most afternoon teas in London appear to be very overpriced for what you get!

Yes! i checked it based on that, but was hoping for personal experiences!

Well, in that case I can recommend the one at Sotheby's. However, it all depends what you are looking for in an afternoon tea.

If you are already booked at The Dorchester, do you really want another one? Imho, that would be a bit of overkill. Afternoon tea is something that belongs to a different era - whether you have it at Claridge's or The Dorchester or the Ritz makes no difference, they are all much of a muchness and cater, primarily, to tourists. I would plump for the Tea Room at Stoke Newington....... or else save my money and spend it on a nice meal later on. Btw, @xymot - high tea and afternoon tea are two completely different things and served at different times.

You have posted re restaurants in London - are you vegetarian or just don't eat meat? I ask this 'cos if you are vegetarian, then surely that rules out a lot of the afternoon tea goodies?

Hey! I just don't eat meat! But the person I will be with is vegetarian!
