Did You Know?
Afternoon tea was first introduced by the Seventh Duchess of Bedford in the early 1840s. The Duchess created the tradition to fill the long gap between lunch and dinner, initially with tea and light snacks. What started as a private ritual soon became a social event, as she invited friends to join her for tea and conversation. This practice quickly gained popularity and became a cherished tradition across London's elite society.

Great location & the library setting is really nice. Nice selection of sandwiches & you can ask for more. Absolutely delicious cakes but the highlight was the scone, containing Basil with cream & the most delicious lemon curd. Exceptional service, our waiter, Alejandro, was very attentive, knowledgeable & friendly.
