This was our first time having afternoon tea and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The Gallery was beautiful with a wonderful atmosphere that was energetic but sophisticated. We were slightly intimidated about not being fully aware of the etiquette of afternoon tea but we were made to feel very comfortable with the wait staff. The piano and singer were a lovely touch as well! The tea and food were scrumptious and presented so beautifully! We will absolutely return upon our next trip to London.

Everything was amazing. Food was perfect we order one set menu and the rest was a la carte. The only plate I did not like a lot was the Steak tartar, but the rest DELICIOUS. They gave me a small dessert with a candle for my birthday!
