Afternoon Tea at The Ritz
One of the Most Iconic Experiences in the World
Indulge in a slice of the finest British tradition and enjoy Afternoon Tea at The Ritz London.
Whilst dining in The Palm Court, savour a selection of finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry preserve, and a mouth-watering range of exquisitely presented pastries and teacakes, replenished on request.
As well as 18 different types of loose-leaf tea to choose from, why not sip a glass of Champagne to add some extra sparkle to the occasion.
A glittering event
This most charming traditional Afternoon Tea in Mayfair is served in the spectacular Palm Court, with glittering chandeliers and elegant mirrors, which add a light and stylish flourish to the room.
The Ritz London is the only hotel in the UK to have a certified Tea Master, Giandomenico Scanu, who travels around the world to various tea plantations to source our wonderful teas.
Why not try our exclusive Ritz Royal Blend Tea? This is only available at The Ritz.
Music to match the occasion
The elegant ambiance is complemented by a musical ensemble from our resident pianist and harpist – the final ingredient to ensure your Afternoon Tea at The Ritz is, quite simply, unforgettable.
Afternoon Tea is served daily at 11.30am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm, 5.30pm, and 7.30pm.
Priced at £60 for adults and £40 for Children’s Afternoon Tea.
From 10 January 2022 and throughout the year, our quintessentially British Afternoon Tea at The Ritz is relocating to the hotel’s former Ballroom, located on the lower ground floor, due to restoration works. The entrance for Afternoon Tea at The Ritz during this time will be located on Piccadilly.
