No visit to the British capital is complete without one.
More than 150 years after the seventh Duchess of Bedford began serving a meal between lunch and dinner, the best afternoon tea in London is still difficult to narrow down. Naturally, there’s no shortage of traditional options, which take their cue from her preferred menu: scones with lashings of jam and cream; cucumber finger sandwiches; trays of pastries and cakes; and pot after pot of Darjeeling and Earl Grey.
Equally appealing, however, are the more whimsical places that also deserve a place on any list of the best afternoon teas in London. Take The Rosewood’s ingenious art-inspired offering, complete with cakes in the shape of Yayoi Kusama sculptures. Or, for a cocktail-drenched outing, head to Lyaness at Sea Containers London, where legendary mixologist Mr Lyan pairs melon-infused gimlets with coconut panna cotta.
