They squeezed us in between two tables! There is a huge amount of cakes and large scones with jam and cream as well as yummy sandwiches. There is a large selection of teas. The "set"tea had more of a homemade rather than elegant or theme based teas but my granddaughters were very happy to choose what they wanted to eat! The tables are pretty close together so go early if you prefer it to be less busy!

I loved the decor and atmosphere. Food: My friend and I both ordered the traditional English breakfast. I had mine with vegan sausage. The breakfast was exactly what I expected and was pretty good. I was excited they had a vegan sausage option instead of leaving the sausage off like other places. Service: Our service was quick and friendly. We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all. TL;DR - Lovely place for an English breakfast

The attention and service begins at the entrance and does not stop there. The staff are absolutely helpful and explain everything for us throughout the tea service. The earl grey was the best and had to buy some as it was delicious. I highly recommend making reservation and enjoying the service as well as historical context of hotel. The scones were out of this world and warm from the oven as they make when you arrive to ensure everyone gets it fresh.

It was an enjoyable experience for Afternoon Tea. It was VERY reasonably priced compared to what I…read moresaw while looking for a place. The decor was absolutely beautiful, the staff were great and very accommodating. We were arriving late based on commute issues so I rebooted for a later time so we weren't late for our seating. We arrived about 15 minutes after our original time and 45 minutes before our new time and they let us sit right away. Most of the food was good. For me, the one issue was that I don't typically eat white bread so the first few sandwiches felt dry. The ironic part was that I don't typically like shrimp but I tried the prawn cocktail and it was one of my savory favorites along with the heritage beef. Most of the sweets were good, you just have to get past texture expectations depending on what you're used to. For example, the cheesecake had a gelatin-like texture, and we are used to cheesecake being more on the creamy side. The flavor however, was good. The star of the show, the tea. We both only tried 2 teas. Between the tower and the tea, you get full quickly. I ordered the lemongrass and ginger then the Taiwanese Four Season. My favorite was the lemongrass and ginger. I also purchased one to take home. Overall great experience and I highly recommend.

The iced chocolate is a classic and exceeded my expectations of richness and flavor. It was a little moist and bland here and there but otherwise golden. The waffle was quite good - they folded it which stopped it from being a mess. The workers there were quite nice. Service was quick and yummy. The ambiance is some dim-ish lights with nice decor. The only thing I will say is that you must use an iPad to order, which is unfortunate as there's not much human interaction aside from when your food is ready. But otherwise, I do recommend when or if you have a stay in London!

The flat white is always my preferred option, but the Americano was good as well (if a touch acidic). The Banana Bread was nice and moist, although if I had it to do over again, I'd try it with the creme fraiche, blueberries, and candied pecans rather than plain. The Coconut Milk Porridge was a nice and hearty (and healthier) way to start the day. I was a little confused by the menu, thinking that it came with compote, granola, banana, date syrup, and pistachio. Those are really two different choices; compote and granola, OR banana, date syrup, and pistachio. I didn't regret the compote and granola, but the banana, date syrup, and pistachio also sounded pretty interesting. They also had a small selection of pastries, which all looked good. Highly recommended for a light breakfast/lunch/snack!

Pretty presentation and generous portions--a sprinkling of sprouts and legumes, a few slices of cucumber, sautéed spinach sitting atop a huge chunk of aubergine, two slices of halloumi cheese, and lots of homemade hummus. Also had a cup of their decaf and the flavor was accurate to description (I seem to recall notes of cacao)--one of the better cups of decaf I've had in a while.

Everything from the eggplant to the lamb to the dumplings to the sauce was really perfect. The mango smoothie was also quite tasty. A little gruff on the service from the person who delivered our plates and while the "terrace" area was offered, unlike the guests that came in shortly after we declined that location, who were walked back and seated, we were simply handed our menus with a gesture towards the area. Still, the tasty food and convenient location were tops.
