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

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.

We just googled the closest crumpet restaurant near us while visiting the Buckingham Palace. Holy…read moresmokes was that a good decision. We hustled over here cause we all really needed to pee (spoiler this place does not have a restroom). We ordered food nonetheless. This was hands down the greatest crumpet breakfast I've ever had. So much so I came back to the states and tried to recreate it three times since (none as successful). It's the type of meal that you day dream about. The service was similar to a deli. Go up and place your order and wait while seated. The ambiance was of a small little hole in the wall type of restaurant but extremely cozy. Could not recommend them highly enough.

I ordered the Nutella strawberry waffle and iced chocolate from this place. As a big chocolate…read morefanatic, both were to die for. 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!

Also offered a couple of sandwiches but we did not try them. Had a nice selection of can drinks (OJ, Red Bull, etc.). The iced latte was amazing. The service was not friendly, but it was a quick in and out (express location). Which also means that there is no seating except for 4 chairs outside. They appear to have a back room, but it was not open. All and all it was a good stop for a coffee and pastry on the go. Not a good stop for a lingering morning breakfast.

It is amazing food - it's in Kensington ( near $$$$ homes ) but you see every class of people there - not pretentious at all- this is a real Londoner restaurant not a tourist destination.

Full English Breakfast on a Monday morning hits the spot…read more Arrived at 8 AM and there was no wait on a Monday. We ordered the full English breakfast which comes with tea, blood sausage, sunny side up egg, bacon, turnip cake, hash brown, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and of course, beans and toast. The plate is super filling. I loved how crispy the hash browns were. The beans were sweet and paired nicely with the toast and egg. The only con is the bacon was pretty salty. Service was friendly and efficient. They took away our plates for us. Make sure to order before getting seated. They'll call your number at the front counter when it's ready. The meal is huge, so I'd recommend sharing or ordering based off what you'd like to eat.
