The time-honoured custom of afternoon tea is a London experience not to be missed. This traditional late-afternoon tea with sandwiches and sweet pastries came into fashion over 150 years ago. It was a way for the upper classes to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner and it is still going strong today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><sub>Here are the top five addresses to sample this gorgeously decadent pleasure:<\/sub><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The Ritz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Timelessly classic, the Ritz serves afternoon tea in the spectacular Palm Court. With its sparkling chandeliers, opulent gold leaf and delicate china. There are 18 teas to choose from served with delectable finger sandwiches. There are also requisite scones and a selection of enticing cakes. The strict dress code (no jeans or sportswear permitted, jacket and tie for men) along with the impeccable service ensure this a truly elegant affair.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"Afternoon tea stand with scones, cakes, and sandwiches on a cozy table\" class=\"wp-image-42757 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-2048x1463.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-1440x1029.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-1200x857.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jelleke-vanooteghem-qfRsevOtQXE-unsplash-600x429.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/731;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Afternoon tea stand with scones, cakes, and sandwiches<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Claridge\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pastel-toned Foyer at Claridge\u2019s and its signature jade-striped china provide the stunning art-deco backdrop for their afternoon service. The traditional sandwiches are combined with a constantly-changing season twist of creativity. The sweet pastries are rotated weekly to keep the menu fresh and seasonal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The Savoy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Savoy\u2019s sumptuous afternoon tea is held under the soaring glass dome of the Thames Foyer. It strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and stuffiness. A whopping 30 teas are on offer along with superb savoury and sweet treats, all accompanied by the laid-back tinkling from the live pianist to create an atmosphere of refined elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. The Langham<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Afternoon tea at the Langham. Celebrated as the birthplace of afternoon tea, the Langham\u2019s beautiful Palm Court has been serving scones to the elite since 1865. There are several menus on offer including a wonderful kids version with specially designed novelty pastries and a complimentary Hamley\u2019s teddy bear. For full relaxation opt for the spa day and afternoon tea combo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Fortnum &amp; Mason<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Queen Elizabeth II herself opened Fortnum &amp; Mason\u2019s Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon on the fourth floor of their historic Piccadilly department store, and the Edwardian-style surroundings are indeed fit for royalty with pretty gold-rimmed turquoise china and crisp white linens. There is a choice between a classic afternoon tea, an all- savoury version or a high tea with more robust dishes (think Welsh rarebit or beef wellington) in place of the usual delicate sandwiches.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Elegant afternoon tea setting with pastel china and silver teapots at Fortnum &amp; Mason in London\" class=\"wp-image-42753 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-2048x1371.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-1440x964.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-1200x803.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5388413329_b8c588a946_o-600x402.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/685;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Elegant afternoon tea setting at Fortnum &amp; Mason in London<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to London, the capital of afternoon tea and biscuits.
