Brits certainly love a cuppa. But when you add freshly baked scones, delicious cakes, and a couple of glasses of bubbles to the mix, afternoon tea in London<\/a> becomes even better! Whether you want to soak up the local culture, fill your belly with delicious treats, or kick off a celebration with an early afternoon boozing session, the Great British Capital has you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, where are these wonderful places that serve the finest teas<\/a>, confectionery items and potentially a bottle of Champagne or two? Here are some of our favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rubens at the Palace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rubens at the Palace is the ultimate taste of London sophistication. Within just a stone’s throw of Buckingham Palace, this beautiful hotel serves up the quintessential English tea experience with delicious cakes and your choice of refreshment. Make sure you book well in advance, though – it’s one of the most popular attractions in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dorchester<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dorchester<\/a> is one of London\u2019s most famous luxury hotels, and its afternoon tea truly is to die for. You can sip a selection of house-blended teas, munch on pastries, warm scones, and delicate finger sandwiches, all while surrounded by d\u00e9cor such as silk drapes and gold-framed mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try the Norfolk Black leg chicken sandwich with mayo, ginger, lime, and garlic. Then, treat yourself to a raspberry lychee rose. Wash it all down with a fine glass of Champagne, and your afternoon will be off to a cracking start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
