    Awful. The area is far too loud with music blaring out, we waited over 45 minutes for our afternoon tea so ended up having to cancel it as we would be late to our show. Complained and still got charged £18 for four cups of tea. Awful experience.

    I booked at for afternoon tea We ordered one afternoon tea a soup and a cream tea. The waitress asked me to choose a cake which I did The soup came quickly followed by the afternoon tea . However we were still waiting 30 minutes later for the cream tea. We refused it in the end. The cake I chose wasn’t on the afternoon tea When I mentioned it they took one cake away and brought another cake Not the one I had chosen By this time I had given up. Really disappointed.

    The afternoon tea was lovely. It would be nice idea if they could have served completely water to the table as it was so hot in there and everyone was complaining it was too hot.

    Afternoon tea sandwiches were soggy, salmon sandwich was stuffed with overpowering cream cheese, desserts were average, service was very slow and hardly cleared the table. Prices are understandably high because of the location.

    Absolutely awful. Service dreadful. Food expensive and poor on quality. Loud, no ambiance and not worth the time or effort to go.

    It was my daughter’s 18th birthday, which I told you when booking. There was NO attempt to make it special. The sandwiches were soggy. Really underwhelmed. I’ve had so much better and would not come again.

    The seating is under the escalator so there is a lot of foot traffic around you. The service was very good and very friendly. The afternoon tea was well prepared and presented. The cakes are incredible, fresh and delicious. The price of £49pp is appropriate to the restaurant and London prices. I would recommend trying the fresh strawberry cheesecake.
