Afternoon tea at The Lanesborough: Step into splendor

​Afternoon tea venues don’t come much more sensational than The Lanesborough’s recently refurbished Venetian dining room – a richly decorated space adorned with Bas-relief friezes, spectacular chandeliers and a beautiful domed glass roof that naturally illuminates the room during daylight hours. The culinary servings are rich and plentiful – comforting and homely British classics served with a fine-dining finesse and exceptionally attentive service. There's a tea sommelier on hand to advise guests on blends to suit their palate, while the hotel's award-winning pastry chef Nicolas Rouzaud serves up fresh scones with thick, velvety clotted cream and fresh fruit preserves.
