    One of the best afternoon teas I’ve ever tried so far in London. The super lovely Greek waitress Anna was very professional and friendly at the same time, surely she helped us to have an even greater time. Recommend 100%!

    I love the feel of this place. Such a cosy and intimate vibe. The seats are so soft but firm. The staff were really friendly and food was good. Even though it’s a little pricy, you do leave satisfied and content. I would definitely go back but not in a hurry.

    Your afternoon tea concept needs work. Several bite sized savory pastries which included one sandwich was a joke. At least, the flavor profiles do come close to satisfaction. You’re trying too hard to be ultra posh. A few notches back to basics is very much needed. I was not impressed with the popsicle after the savory course. Dessert: let just say i have no complaints. But scones as the last course like who does that. This experience will most likely remain as the worst afternoon tea experience. P.S. I rarely write negative reviews.

    This is an exquisite afternoon tea with a lot of courses and many of them savoury. Each one presented by friendly staff and with time between to get ready! We were pleased to see the ending scones were small and bite sized so just room enough to squeeze in. If you want an afternoon tea with a difference this is it.

    Third time coming here for afternoon tea, as before a great experience. Lovely setting to enjoy some delicious pastries and excellent tea. I really enjoy seeing how the menu has changed over the years. Also really enjoyed the new French menu. Was very pleasantly surprised with the vegan options, definitely didn't compromise on taste. Staff was very attentive and didn't rush us. Only downside, it would be great if the children's menu came back as my niece really enjoyed it previously.

    Beautiful place. Amazing sandwiches, scrumptious pastries. It's everything I dreamed it would be and more. As a Texan I've dreamed of having a proper British tea and this place delivered.

    Came for an afternoon tea. Good experience, nice cozy place. Food is great too as well as service. For me was too much sweets 3 out of 5. First 2 were sandwiches and very tasty the next 3 were sweets. My stomach didn’t take well so mach bread and pastries, i felt sick after. I normally do not eat so much bread in one go….afternoon tea is not for me 🙂 £55 per person without champagne (i had without alcohol) £65 per person with champagne

    We visited here for afternoon tea for a friend's birthday. It was fantastic. The staff are absolutely brilliant, polite, friendly and really made the experience for us. Our table was ready for us when we arrived and they even let us set up for our friends birthday with the present and card. There is a brilliant selection of tea and pastries here. The menus are neat and very informative. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to explain the menu to all guests. When we visited they had a harpist playing and she played beautifully at a soft enjoyable volume with a selection of well known songs. The tables are presented beautifully for afternoon tea. There is a good selection of sandwiches and the staff were brilliant at checking allergies and dietary requirements. Some of our party don't eat pork and this was no problem at all. All the staff were attentive. The toilets are clean and decorated to a high standard. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who would like afternoon tea. Thankyou to the team on Saturday afternoon you made our celebration truly special.

    One has to admit that this is the easiest afternoon tea to book at the last minute during Christmas in London. It's located in the Sofitel hotel. The location is good, right off Regent Street. However, the lounge itself is quite small, essentially serving as the hotel's lobby sitting area with about ten tables in total. For Christmas, they recommend the Christmas set, priced at £70 (without champagne) and £80 (with champagne), per person. The tea, although fleet, is just tea bags, and I reckon the ones at my home might be better. The first savory course includes a salmon tart, two types of sandwiches, and a baked cheese sandwich; the second sweet course has about five desserts. They're not bad, but certainly not memorable. The service staff are extremely busy throughout, quickly explaining the products and swiftly serving the meals, lacking the ceremonial feel of afternoon tea. If you can book somewhere else, definitely don't choose this one. If you really can't book anywhere else, I suggest just going to any five-star hotel for tea and desserts, which would probably be more worthwhile and atmospheric. We later regretted not having tea at our hotel.

    Xmas eve afternoon tea. Was very quiet, just another table occupied across the other side. The pastry chef came out to explain the freshly baked scones and offered extra to take home as we were foreign visitors. Already recommended this place to friends as a alternative to the tourist guide ones.

    Service was excellent, the servers were attentive but not overly so. Without us asking they brought us an extra birthday treat (free of charge) because they worked out we were celebrating a birthday! Pastries in particular were delicious!

    Excellent afternoon tea. Great and friendly service. We weren't rushed at all despite staying over 3 hours. Food was all delicious and the setting is lovely.

    This was a delightful place to have tea. The Earl Grey tea was superb. The service is also great. Plus they give you a lot of tea to enjoy.

    Came in for afternoon tea. The food is good. Some of the staff is not trained enough to provide adequate service. The price is also uncompetitive. Maybe this is why there was still a lot of availability on an Easter weekend. It’s a good place if you want to have an afternoon tea at the last minute, but if you are booking in advance, there are always better options with the quality and the pricing in London.
