Afternoon Tea At The Ritz
About
Nestled in the heart of London’s Piccadilly, The Ritz London has long stood as a beacon of luxury and timeless elegance. The sparkling Palm Court, with its crystal chandeliers and gilt furnishings, is the stage for the world‑famous Afternoon Tea—an indulgent ritual of exquisitely cut finger sandwiches, butter‑laden scones, and a curated selection of loose‑leaf teas served beside a glass of Champagne. Live piano music accompanies each sitting, from 11:30 am to 7:30 pm, creating an atmosphere of refined leisure. The hotel’s culinary offerings extend beyond tea, boasting a Two‑Michelin‑starred Ritz Restaurant that delivers meticulously crafted menus in an opulent dining room, and the chic Rivoli Bar where signature cocktails flourish. Complementing the gastronomic experience, the Ritz delivers personal butler service, Rolls‑Royce chauffeur transport, and a suite of bespoke experiences that celebrate hospitality at its pinnacle.
