I'm also a Londoner and I agree. Or the Savoy.


Thanks for this recommendation! The Savoy looks more enjoyable to me.

Fortnum & Mason also has a nice afternoon tea, though don't know that the price is significantly different.

We love the Orangery at Kensington Palace.

Afternoon tea at the Ritz is a memorable, formal affair. Definitely go if price is no issue. If you are price-sensitive, you may want to look at the Wolesley.

I like the Ritz, especially for the setting. It's like stepping back in time. The Palm Court is such a beautiful room, nothing else really compares. Claridges is an excellent choice as well and considered "the best" by many. I've also done tea at the Berkeley (nontraditional-great for fashion lovers) and the Dorchester, which is a good choice, too. I was less thrilled with sitting in the promenade but the tea itself is lovely. As a side note, the spa at the Dorchester is absolutely breathtaking! Enjoy!

I like Brown's for tea, too. Savoy is also good.

I preferred Brown's for tea. Actual Brits were there, not just Americans. Also expensive.

If it's good, the expense is fine as I'm okay with a vacation splurge.

Also okay with dressing up! I did see some reviews online where people were complaining there were people in jeans still allowed in for tea.

You do have to dress for it, so consider that.

Has anyone done this before? It's so expensive and I want to see if it's worth it or just a big tourist trap.
