    If you haven't yet, I highly recommend checking out the afternoon tea at the Wolseley next to the Ritz! Amazing feel, mid price range, insanely good vegetarian/ vegan selection and they offer free refills of everything (yes, we ate so many scones and had sandwich and mini battenberg refills...)

    I find that afternoon tea has become a total luxury in the latest years. Fortnum and Mason have doubled the price in 10 years or so (£80 now!). I found years ago that The Orangery at Kensington Palace had a great value, but now it is £55. You can still find budget options, like Pastiserie Valerie for around £40 for two people. So 20 each, and it was yummy. Maybe not so posh or fancy, but very nice. Also the café at the crypt in Saint Martin in the Fields have lovely cream tea for around £7 and it was delicious.

    I've been waiting for this video to get some recommendations and like the look of the Mad Hatter afternoon tea. When I visit London I usually have coffee and cake at The Parlour at Fortnum and Mason its usually fairly quiet and relaxed in the afternoon. They do savouries, cakes, ice cream and an afternoon tea for £23, not bad for that part of London.

    I think it's excellent that you took in consideration different price points. I'm Colombian, in our culture we do "elevens" and afternoon tea/coffee. I've been to many high teas and I love them. But, for me, your latter option of just the scones and tea was lovely and just the right amount of food I want in an afternoon snack. This is a recommendation I've never seen before. Could you tell me, do bakeries in London also offer tea and a place to sit? Or is it more like most French or Italian bakeries/bars where you take your coffee standing?

      Agree about cream tea, usually the full afternoon tea is too much food for the afternoon. Highly recommend the Ivy (they have restaurants in many locations) great surroundings, great service and great quality. You can even get cream tea at one of London’s top hotels, The Lanesborough and it’s a lot less expensive than the full option.

    I am sure this is going to sound super touristy, but we did get the afternoon tea in the cafe in the Westminster Abbey during our tour there.

    At the Wallace can 2 adults share one tea service and pay for a second beverage

      We don't think so! You'll probably have to get a serving for two.

    Hey could you do a guide of Kensington? My girlfriend and I are staying in a hotel there in early December. Any pub or history suggestions? Thank you love the videos

      Kensington doesn't have a TON of good places, our favourites for West London (like in Notting Hill) are in the Casual Tourist Guide to West London: shop.loveandlondon.com/products/casual-tourist-guide-to-west-london

    Vegetarian tea? As opposed to meat in it?

    Hiii! I'm going to London, more specifically, Dulwich, and I was looking for some afternoon tea spot there. Any ideas?😊

      Probably too late for you now, but I'm pretty sure the cafe/restaurant at the Dulwich Picture Gallery does afternoon tea.

    Are there any afternoon tea options in London where we don’t need advance reservations? Most of the ones we researched don’t appear to accommodate walk-ins…

    I'm sorry, what's a vegetarian tea? You mean the brew itself, or the food?

      I thought the same thing. She must have meant the food.

    👋🏼 First video and I’m subscribed! Enjoy your presentation (and content, of course). 😜 I have seen other British people doing afternoon/high teas and they say you don’t slice the scone, you twist them open. 😳 I say scone like it’s spelled. Long O! 🤣 You have one of Heathrow so, onward I go. 👉🏼🇺🇸

    All looks terrific. I hope when I go to the high-end tea I’ve booked for my May holiday, they’ll let me swap out things I don’t like, such as fish & seafood or coffee desserts🤢 🤞🏼

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  7 місяців тому +1

      You can't really swap that specifically but you can often tell them ahead of time if you're allergic to seafood.

      @@loveandlondonIt worked! (At the Cafe Royal, which must be one of the most expensive teas in London. But it was fab-u-luscious!!!! 😊The venue couldn’t be more over-the-top fancy, but it was an awesome experience, I highly recommend adding to the Bucket list!)

      @loveandlondon I loved your ideas on that blog post, but unfortunately none of the places you named, do afternoon tea on Christmas day...

    I thought the Ivy seemed really good value, and what I would go for. I noticed you didn’t actually compare the quality of the scones, I think that is important.

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Рік тому

      It's definitely the cheapest!

    • @Edinburgh74
      @Edinburgh74 Рік тому +1

      The Ivy does afternoon tea with the savouries and sweets too (not just scones) and all of their restaurants are lovely and individually decorated so no two are the same. its very affordable in comparison with the 5 star hotels which are now nudging at £70-100 + which I do think is a bit ridiculous for a sandwich and some cakes!
