Valentine’s Day Afternoon Tea
Duke’s London
The historic St. James stalwart – just a five-minute walk from Buckingham Palace – is offering a special romantic tea, starting at £35 per person. It includes a selection of traditional sandwiches, handmade patisseries, fruit and plain scones, plus cake of the day - all served in the drawing room. Do opt for the mini Martini chaser – if you can’t treat your beloved on Valentine’s Day, when can you? Book it here.
St Valentine’s Day Afternoon Tea
The Ritz
No London hotel is more synonymous with afternoon tea than The Ritz. And there is nowhere that feels more romantic or more of a treat either; did you know that its founder, César Ritz, ensured that the lighting was as becoming as candlelight by meticulously adjusting it until it flattered his wife most? On Valentine’s Day, why not treat your paramour to a Rosé Champagne Afternoon Tea in the exquisite Ritz Club? £95 per person. Book it here.
Seasonal Prêt-À-Portea
The Berkeley
If your Valentine has sartorial flair or more than a passing interest in fashion, The Berkeley’s offering is the only afternoon tea in town for you. Fun, frivolous and delicious to boot, its fashion-forward selection of cakes and biscuits are inspired by the season’s catwalks. For £79 per person, you will receive edible frocks and accessories, plus seasonal treats and a glass of champagne or a mocktail. Book it here.
Afternoon Tea
Belmond British Pullman
It may not be a hotel, but it is every bit as romantic. No journey on the Belmond British Pullman fails to evoke the glamorous nostalgia and romance of the golden age of travel. For an experience that you’ll never forget, why not book a classic afternoon tea with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne as you revel in the Agatha Christie-reminiscent stylings of one of the world’s most beautiful trains? Book it here.
