We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea at the Lanesborough. The selection of teas was great and quite different, the sandwiches and sweets were lovely and their presentation was fantastic and the overall atmosphere, paired with the piano playing, was wonderful. Every single member of staff we encountered were super friendly and welcoming and made the experience really memorable. Can't wait to return!

Everything was absolutely amazing, the food, the teas, the view, the people working there. However we did not expect the 15% service charge to be added to the price. But be had a wonderful time and do not regret at all to have chosen the Shangri-La for our tea time in London.
