Lovely visit to Dean Street for afternoon tea. The food, room and experience were all quite enjoyable. The tea menu choices (scones and tea, sandwiches and tea, cakes and tea or full afternoon tea) provide alot of flexibility, and the value is terrific compared to many other London high tea venues. Dean Street is also comfortable and casual - it offers a very pleasant British afternoon tea experience with no need for hats and fancy frocks!

We only visited for drinks, but enjoyed the vibe. Only downside was that smoking was allowed which was not only surprising but also meant we frequently got wafts of other people's cigaretters.
