England · AFTERNOON TEA EXPERIENCES IN LONDON
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 5 afternoon tea experiences in London worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Ride a 1960s Routemaster through central London while you’re served afternoon tea. Vintage sights, guided audio, and bakery treats.
“While the afternoon tea was very nice, and our kids enjoyed the experience, it is difficult for the bus to travel far in London traffic and this impacts the experience. Also some of the audio was hard to hear.”
1.5-hour Thames afternoon tea cruise from Tower Pier with unlimited tea and classic British bites, plus landmark views from big windows.
“Really relaxing way to have traditional English high tea while cruising on the Thames. The scones with the clotted cream are yummy and a good selection of sandwiches (egg, salmon, chicken and Chipotle). The sweets were also good. Lots of food for 2 pp. The service was excellent.”
London afternoon tea on a double-decker bus with panoramic stops at Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Thames, plus Prosecco and tea.
“The whole experience was great. Would highly recommend. Idea for family and friends of all ages young or old.”
Buckingham Palace State Rooms plus a live London highlights coach tour and classic afternoon tea, with timed entry and a prosecco option.
“The individual audios were great. It allows you to go at your own pace. All members of our family enjoyed the history and meaning behind many special pieces throughout the palace.”
Afternoon tea at The Rubens at the Palace pairs classic British treats with a Royal Mews view across from Buckingham Palace.
“Afternoon Tea was wonderful! I'd definitely do this again. There were so many options for Tea and they took the time to explain to us what we would be eating. And everything was so delightful and so much we couldn't even eat it all. But it was a good experience that I would recommend.”
Every kind of day out in the country, best first.
