Where to Have Afternoon Tea on your next trip to London?

Hands down my favorite thing about London is TEA TIME. There is nothing quite like it in the states! The selection of teas, not to mention the unlimited refills. The levels of finger sandwiches, pastries and scones. oh my gosh. Here are my favorites from over the years...

Come with us to have tea at The Ritz in London...

Most Elegant: High Tea at The Ritz

I highly recommend having a bestie who works in luxury travel (like how did i get so lucky?!) The manager personally introduced himself and greeted us with a bottle of complimentary bottle champagne to welcome us. We even got a tour of the hotel, including their $10K a night room which was featured in Notting Hill (1999) a notable movie filmed at The Ritz London, scenes were shot in the Trafalgar Suite and at the hotel's reception area, featuring Julia Roberts.

**You'll want to book your tea at the Ritz, well in advance as they fill up quickly!**

THE ROYAL FAMILY HAS TEA AT THE RITZ REGULARLY, AND YOU CAN TELL.

I went back to sketch on our last trip to the UK for their holiday-themed tea, complete with live violinists and a full-on ballerina. It was a special treat taking my Aunt Rita here for her very first tea time!

Most Traditional: Offering the ultimate in British elegance, the Park Room brings a traditional Afternoon Tea experience to the 5-star Grosvenor House London.

The first tea I ever tried and that everyone raves about!

Theme: Pas de Deux Afternoon Tea, circa 2013

For the "next best" after The Ritz, top contenders for classic, luxurious London afternoon tea are.... Fortnum & Mason (classic, iconic), The Savoy (timeless glamour) Claridge's (elegant, rare teas), The Lanesborough (timeless luxury), The Goring(exquisite, garden views), or Brown's Hotel (exceptional, charming). Another top contender for us was the Lanesborough, who has been hosting a Bridgerton Afternoon Tea for anyone who's a fan...

Most Budget-Friendly: Best for affordable treats in an iconic setting: Afternoon tea at the British Museum, from 40 British pounds, which is about $54.
