Irina Posted August 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Any recommendations for high tea while in London? How about fun restaurants for dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotswold Eagle Posted August 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2018 There was a long thread on this topic a few months ago that will give you some options. (NB What is known as ‘high tea’ in most of the world is ‘afternoon tea’ in the UK. A traditional high tea here would have more savoury items, such as pies or other meat/fish dishes.) Afternoon Tea in London https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2477167 As for dinner, I think I read recently that there are 17000 restaurants in London. It may help us to make suggestions if you can say a little more about what you mean by “fun restaurants”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cath32 Posted August 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here is a blog post about some 'fun' afternoon teas... https://www.dangerous-business.com/2018/07/themed-afternoon-teas-london/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgans Posted August 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Can recommend the Afternoon Teas at the Taj St James Court Hotel - (Kona Restaurant) - they have various themes and also Sketch. Both are fun and a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted August 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2018 We ate dinner one night at San Carlo Cicchetti in Covent Garden. It was fantastic! http://www.sancarlocicchetti.co.uk Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchhalm Posted August 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Whenever we are in London, we have dinner or lunch at Clos Maggiore near Covent Garden. Romantic and superb food. Not cheap, but value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire-Pudding Posted August 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Savoy has a lovely afternoon tea but you need to be very hungry to do it justice. Sent from my SM-T810 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cft8 Posted August 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 7, 2018 We are going on the B Bakery bus. My cousins did it last year and raved about it. It's a vintage double-decker bus and you are driven around London while you enjoy your tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a vintage double-decker bus and you are driven around London while you enjoy your tea. Oh, yes, I saw their bus in Northumberland Avenue the other week. Most of the Thames river cruise tour operators also offer an Afternoon Tea Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted August 13, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I really enjoyed afternoon tea at Wolseley's. Had a great dinner at Harrod's department store. In the food areas they have counters to sit at and eat....excellent food. A real step up from the old Woolworth's counter! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hehny Posted August 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The Ritz. Browns. Claridges. The Dorchester. Well worth the money but book early for afternoon tea. They offer the quintessential tea experience! Harrods is okay but not as refined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
