We recently enjoyed an excellent afternoon tea at The Parlour. The menu featured a delightful selection of savory and sweet dishes, with several creative and unique twists that were particularly impressive. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who ensured our tea was constantly replenished. I would highly recommend The Parlour for a special occasion or simply an indulgent treat.

Brought my family for afternoon tea. The restaurant was pretty but we were the only ones there and the servers seemed very annoyed. Food was decent but very sparse for the price. Not worth it for tea.

I loved the savory sandwiches and scones but sweets were just so so. Tables are to close to each other makes it awkward if you wanna start a conversation with your partner during the afternoon tea.

Live music at Christmas tea in a narrow room with a mic and speaker. Impossible to have a conversation. He was talented. I felt sorry for him. Wayyyy too loud. We left miserable. Savories were unimaginative and meager. Overpriced. Chaos

Thank you for your feedback, Ann. We apologise to hear that the live music and food didn’t meet your expectations. We'll take your comments on board to improve the experience going forward. We hope to welcome you back soon. Warm regards, The Parlour at Great Scotland Yard

Very expensive for what it is. Service charge is higher than a lot of other similar places. We had a large group. £65 per head not including water and service at 13.5 percent was quite expensive for 4 small sandwiches each (and no refills offered) would not choose to have tea here again.

Great location and ambiance. The tea sandwiches didn’t have much flavor and the sweet offerings were cumbersome and not very tasty. The servers were kind.
