Afternoon tea at Claridge's: Refined sophistication with scrumptious offerings

Bow-tied waiters in white jackets serve in art-deco surroundings
David Ellis @dvh_ellis8 December 2017

Although somewhat more understated than some of its Piccadilly cousins, Claridge’s is no less luxurious. Bow-tied waiters in white jackets serve in the art-deco surroundings. Sandwiches, scones and even the tea itself is all excellent, but note that the service here is more hands-off than you might expect. Rather than constant attentiveness, the staff leave parties to themselves for much of the time. This suits many people, but others prefer to be attended to a little more closely, so decide what you prefer before you head down.
Cheque out: from £60, children £30
