Afternoon Tea at Corinthia London offers one of life’s great luxuries. Illuminated by a spectacular Baccarat Chandelier and accompanied by uplifting melodies from a Steinway Piano, The Crystal Moon Lounge provides an idyllic atmosphere for a sumptuous afternoon treat.

Designed to showcase individual elements of a tea ceremony and with every aspect of a guest's experience considered, our expert Tea Master weighs and infuses bespoke tea blends for the perfect cup of tea. Delight in this wonderful interactive experience, with cakes and indulgent patisseries served from our heritage trolley on a bespoke line of Richard Brendon bone china.

    Food and service was excellent. Placed at a table that was small and that did not capture the ambience. A significant portion of the value of afternoon tea is creating that special atmosphere which was not accomplished.

    The tea service was lovely and the staff could not have been nicer. We added champagne onto it, which significantly increased the price. The piano player were very talented and did a nice job accommodating the wishes of the guests. The hotel also made a fuss for my daughter’s 16th birthday, which was lovely. I consider high tea ‘one and done’. I am glad that I took my kids, 19 and 16, to this tea. It was a ‘proper’ experience.

    Magical! I took my daughter and aunt out for afternoon tea. My 9 year old, who had never been to tea said, “I see why you wanted to go to tea. They just feed you dessert until you can’t eat anymore.” The service was exceptional, live piano and floral arrangements serene, and tea heavenly. The hazelnut crème and apricot sphere was one of my favorite desserts of all time. Such a lovely memory.

    When I arrived, there was a guy I told him that I have a reservation. told me that the afternoon tee time is ended. My booking was at 5:45. I told him that I have a reservation confirmed He told me that my reservation is not showing on his system he was unhelpful and rude when I showed him the confirmation I received then he told me that I’ll send you someone to set you on the table and left me waiting there. The atmosphere in general was fine nothing special the food was fine as well nothing special the waiter was so kind and very welcoming, the price for what I got I think it is a bit over valued . There was nothing special the collection of the tea they have is very basic. I had afternoon tea at Mandarin oriental, which was more better than Carinthia ,

    My family felt so neglected. We were asking for things from time to time. I had two Chilrden, My seven months old baby and a toddler. My husband wanted milk after we got served with the teas and it took half an hour - on that note 📝 we had to remind them we haven’t been served with milk. As well the sandwiches 🥪 etc. This is our third time but this time was rubbish felt. The first and second was amazing to be honest.

    We have all been there when that time of the year creeps up on you super-fast the birthday of your nearest and dearest and panic sets in when you realise that you have not planned anything nor have any idea of what you can do to be that amazing guy. Well after a deep search online and with the entire day to fill, I decided that Afternoon Tea was something that neither of us had enjoyed the pleasures of, despite living in London from birth, I know shocking right!! Well after looking at my options, I decided on afternoon tea at the Corinthia 2mins walk from Embankment Station. What can I say apart from I cannot believe I waited so long to have this experience, wow, wow, wow, what a great location and amazing restaurant from arrival and being greeted by the very friendly doorman to Katie at Reception who demonstrated the old-style professionalism and courtesy which is a rare commodity in 2023. We were seated under the amazing 1,001 crystal chandelier in The Crystal Moon Lounge, and were served by our fabulous waiter Pietro, who gave us a truly 5-star service and really made the occasion special for my partner. There was a superb pianist Kevin who set the mood perfectly and also came over to take any special requests, which actually I did have, a selection of Alicia Keys, George Benson and other soulful favourites were beautifully played setting the mood just right and making me look like the most romantic guy in London – at least for that day. I know, I know what about the afternoon tea I hear you all asking, well let’s just say that the selection of sandwiches made me realise I have never really had a sandwich before, and as for the cake selection Sasha perfectly described the large selection of amazing cakes – oh my god, we were spilt beyond belief, all I can say is check out the Corinthia for your special event, occasion or just to spoil yourself, simply excellence above and beyond, I have to keep this review short as it really was perfection. Thank You
