The London Afternoon Tea Tour

Discover 400 yrs of history behind afternoon tea, as you stroll through London's west End.

What to Expect

Want to enjoy an Afternoon Tea — but want more than just sitting in a hotel dining room?

This is London’s most iconic tradition… reimagined as a walking experience.

Join us as we explore the streets and hidden gems of London’s West End and uncover how Afternoon Tea became one of Britain’s most cherished rituals. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the classic elements — a variety of teas, delicate finger sandwiches, handmade cakes, and scones with jam and clotted cream while learning about their history and the stories behind them.

This isn’t a formal, sit-down hotel tea service. It’s a fun guided interactive cultural experience with a local Londoner.

By the end, you won’t just know how to pronounce “scone” properly — you’ll understand the etiquette, the history, and the fascinating social traditions behind every bite.

Explore, taste, and experience Afternoon Tea like never before.
