Afternoon Tea at The Ritz

One of the Most Iconic Experiences in the World

Indulge in a slice of the finest British tea tradition and a champagne celebration with our Afternoon Tea experiences at The Ritz London.

Whilst dining at The Ritz, 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 20 different types of loose-leaf tea to choose from, why not sip a glass of Champagne to add some extra sparkle to the occasion.

As the perfect ending to your Afternoon Tea experience, you can savour our signature Ritz tableside service that includes two generous slices of cake, served from the guéridon cake trolley. Our skilled Pastry Chefs change the cakes on the menu, to perfectly complement the flavours of the season. Whether you crave an indulgent chocolate treat or a refreshing fruity delight, you can choose your favourite cake and enjoy it to the fullest.

This most charming English Afternoon Tea in Mayfair is served in the spectacular surroundings of The Palm Court.

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.

Children’s Afternoon Tea

This famously British Afternoon Tea experience is sure to be the start of a new family tradition for decades to come.
