Afternoon tea in London, but not mega bucks.

Have done Claridges, which was fab, bit looking for something a little less costly. Any suggestions? Thanks v much.

[SeashellHoarder]

Fwiw Groupon have some fab deals.

Fortnum and Masons?

Liberty is nice. It's not as posh as Claridges but the actual food is tons nicer. £55 for a champagne tea for two.

The Wolseley is lovely, a bit less formal than Claridges and costs about £20ish pp. Also The Orangery at Kensington Palace in Hyde Park, especially if the weather's nice. That's about £18 pp I think.

Travel zoo quite often has good deals on this sort of thing.

Sorry for taking so long to come back, had forgotten I'd posted this! Thanks for the suggestions, will have a look at all.

Sketch on Conduit Street is a super costly and cool resto but afternoon tea (one nice tea and cake) is easily sub £10. Ditto Yauatcha on Berwick Street

Would second the Wolsley

Afternoon Tea website has lots of good deals.

Sketch is great - the loos are hilarious.

You can have afternoon tea at the National Portrait Gallery?

[MsPepperminCreams]

Yes, in their restaurant on the top floor. I went a couple of years ago for my birthday. Great views of London, and it was about £20-£25 a head.

Slight aside - a guy at work saw a cafe offering afternoon tea for £9.99. One cheese sandwich cut in 4, a supermarket scone heated in the microwave & topped with squirty cream (scone still hot so the cream immediately melted and went awful) & a Mr Kipling French Fancy.
