    Great spot for afternoon tea w/ friends or family. The teas were good, but not very strong in flavor. Our most favorites were the scones w/ jam and clotted cream and the sandwiches. The pastries were alright. Staff was friendly but very busy most of the time.

    A perfect spot for you afternoon tea right on Covent Garden. They have a great selection of tea and tea related items. The staff was really friendly and knowledgeable. Their sconces with the jam and clotted cream was delicious. Highly recommend getting a reservation as it can get busy on that area of Covent Garden. Yelper Tip #1: You can get more hot water for your tea if you finish your first pot. Just ask the staff. Yelper Tip #2: if you're dining in...you can ask a staff for a card/pass to use the loo (restrooms) instead of paying. The restrooms are down a few steps by the small courtyard

    For a first-timer in London, this hidden gem was a little difficult to locate as there are two Whittards of Chelsea in the Covent Garden market hall. It is actually located one floor below ground, where all the other restaurants are and not at the tea shop on the ground level (although there is another tea shop connected to the Tea Room). I got lost and when I asked where the Afternoon Tea was at the Tea Shop they thought I meant the tea and they showed me the tea blend called 'Afternoon Tea'.... BUT regardless the staff here were super friendly and welcoming! We were quite late for our booking but they still accommodated us right away. They have a huge selection of tea sets to choose from and all of them are quite affordable compared to other fancy afternoon places. The scones and the sandwiches were amazing and they offered us three different flavours of jam along with three different textures of cream for the scones! The cakes were good too, but the selection was not amazing. The only other thing that we were not accustomed to seeing was the salad that came with the sandwiches...it did not look fitting and we were a little confused how to eat it without taking apart the plate tower. Anyhow, definitely check this place out if you are in the area (you can make an online booking if you know what time you are going to secure a table) and, I will definitely come back again next time I am in London to try some more of the their teas and afternoon tea sets!

    Nice assortment of teas with tastings both upstairs and downstairs. There are more teas to sample and space to walk around downstairs, so don't get stuck with the upstairs area. Some of the teas are very hot, so take your time when sampling. I think it would be more helpful if there were some sugar added, as well as, signs to signify whether certain teas were hot or cold.

    What a fantastic tea room! All the cakes, scones, the clotted cream and jams as well as the elderflower early grey tea were fantastic. I left so happy and satisfied that I dream of the day that I'll return to London to have it again. We ordered the Chelsea tea option for £16.50pp and it was more than enough.

    The drinking of tea is possibly the most famous cultural trait of the British. Whittard takes tea to the next level, offering weird and wonderful varieties I've never heard of from all over the world, and several kinds of drinking and brewing apparatuses. Interesting types included chilli tea, oolong tea and good old South African rooibos tea. If tea isn't your thing, then Whittards definitely isn't your kind of store. But they also stock a range of coffees, chocolates and small stocking fillers of every kind. A cool-sounding present for that lady in your life would be bathtub teabags, though you'd have to be careful with those in the case that some Briton ever gets bitten by a radioactive bug and grows thirty foot tall, rips through your wall and decides to have a tea break while you're soaking in the bath.

    Came here from Los Angeles and such an incredible experience! The service was wonderful as well as everything presented!! A must if you are traveling from far for an English Experience

    Okay, let's me start off. Very chic and neat place. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. If you live in the states then tea, stones & sandwiches for this price is a little steep. It's was $15 pounds for one person, converting that to US was $20. Everything was tasty. The only things I thought they should do it put a little more tea in the pot. I drink a lot of tea and it should have flavor when you sip it but when I sip the jade oolong tea that comes with the meal. It was a bit watery. The server was nice. They move pretty fast of service. People come and go very fast.

    This is will be one of my favorite nights in London. My husband was a little confused since it was his first afternoon tea. He loved it! The teas, food and staff all amazing.
