Why not enjoy the nation’s favourite post-lunch treat? London’s afternoon teas range from the sophisticated to the playful.
Classic high teas of finger sandwiches and scones can be found in the plush surroundings of some of London’s finest hotels, like The Ritz, The Dorchester, The Savoy and The Lanesborough. But if you are looking for something a little different, there are plenty of themed afternoon teas that celebrate literary icons like Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, and Mary Poppins.
So, whether you take high tea literally and enjoy it on the 31st floor of The Shard, or prefer your feet firmly planted on the ground with a chic garden-themed affair, get your pinkies up and at the ready for some serious tea swigging.
