About

Kona Afternoon Tea at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate delivers a refined, indulgent tea experience set in a historic Victorian townhouse. The venue blends elegant décor with a relaxed, homely ambience—an inviting dining room accented in shades of grey and azure, complemented by a separate library lounge featuring a fireplace and plush seating. Guests enjoy a curated array of nine beautiful teas—black, floral and fruit varieties—paired with signature treats that fuse classic and contemporary flavours. During the festive season (18 Dec 2025–4 Jan 2026) the menu showcases seasonal teas such as the Midwinter Night’s Dream, while the midsummer edition pays tribute to Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. Pricing stands at £69 per person, with a 50 % discount for children aged 4‑11. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. Three daily seatings at 12 pm, 2 pm and 4 pm run from Thursday to Sunday, offering visitors ample flexibility. Kona is an ideal spot for families, couples or solo travellers seeking a cosy afternoon escape in Central London.
