The Best Afternoon Tea Experience in London

From the moment booked my trip to London, I knew I had to go to tea.

Tea Parties, afternoon tea, and breakfast tea a huge in London and as a tea girl myself I had to experience it for myself. We dug through so many guides on where to go and our pick, The Lanesbrough was perfect! The Hotel itself was stunning with lots of sitting areas, beautifully decorated rooms, and the cutest bathroom. The Tea room is amazing with huge plants, adorned walls with carvings, and insane chandeliers.

– What is the Lanesbrough?–

The Lanesborough Hotel building was originally constructed in 1719 as a private residence known as Apsley House. In 1930, the building was converted into a luxury hotel called The Lanesborough. Over the years, it gained a reputation for its opulent accommodations and fine dining.

Today, The Lanesborough continues to offer a high level of luxury and service in a historic and beautifully restored setting. Its prime location near Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace makes it a popular choice for both tourist and business travelers visiting London. The hotel is known for its elegant rooms, Michelin-starred dining, and attention to detail, maintaining its status as a landmark in the city’s luxury hospitality industry.
