We both had a lovely time having tea at the Lanesborough today. The food was beautiful: the scones were of a particularly high quality with a delicious texture. The sandwiches were really very nice and the dainty cakes a miracle. The tea itself was also excellent: we both had different black varieties. The food took a while to arrive but staff were very pleasant and ready to assist with anything we needed. It was a treat to enjoy tea in such attractive surroundings, under the big dome.

Yes, yes, & yes! My wife and I visited to indulge in the full "high tea" experience, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were swept away by the elegant decor, the impeccable service, and the exceptional quality of both the tea and the sweets. It’s on the pricier side, but every penny is worth it! A special shoutout to Giacomo, whose warm hospitality made our experience even more memorable. Thank you

I had the gluten free high tea and my daughter had the regular high tea. We both got the delicious mock tail. Both the gluten free and the regular high tea were fantastic. The scones, the finger sandwiches, the cakes, all top notch. The chocolate brownie tea was absolutely fantastic. We loved the Bridgerton theme! The service was spectacular! All in all it was a wonderful experience! Just a little pricey. But I’d still go again!!

When a larger table was seated next to us we did not even have a server ask if we needed anything for more than an hour and had to ask several times. We came here due to a reference, but it was very disappointing…..
