Afternoon Tea in Kensington, London
Let Us Eat Cake | Available every day from 12:00pm-4:30pm
Decadent, indulgent and oh so sweet, our next afternoon tea menu is a tribute to the iconic Last Queen of France, a woman remembered as much for her sweet tooth as her flair for the extravagant. Launching alongside the V&A’s groundbreaking exhibit Marie Antoinette Style on 20th September, Let Us Eat Cake is a celebration of opulence, frivolity and undeniable style – it’s afternoon tea, fit for a queen.
We're able to accommodate a number of dietary requirements, however, please note that our vegetarian and vegan afternoon tea, offers sweet culinary delights, that are freshly made on the day. We politely request that you inform us of any dietary requirements 24 hours in advance.
Let Us Eat Cake - The Festive Edition
Throughout December, we unveil a festive edition of our celebrated Let Us Eat Cake afternoon tea - inspired by the Marie Antoinette Style exhibition at the V&A Museum, running in South Kensington until March 2026.
This limited-edition menu brings a Christmas sparkle to 18th-century decadence, with seasonal touches such as Roasted Turkey sandwiches, indulgent Mince Pies and a White Chocolate & Coconut Christmas Bauble.
Served in our beautiful Drawing Room, this exquisitely presented afternoon tea captures the spirit of the season with a refined menu of handcrafted patisserie, freshly baked scones, festive mince pies and delicate sandwiches, every day from noon to 4pm.
On the 6th, 7th, 14th, 20th, 21st and 27th December, the gentle sounds of a live harpist will fill The Drawing Room, enhancing the festive setting for afternoon tea guests.
On 12th and 13th December, a live illustrator will capture the moment with a stunning, personalised hand drawn illustration - a complimentary keepsake for every afternoon tea guest.
