Comparing the Top 3 Afternoon Teas in London | AD ☕️

What's the best afternoon tea in London? This is a question I get a lot, so I decided to compare three of the top afternoon teas in London so you can figure out which tea experience is best for your next visit. In this video, come with me to the Rosewood hotel, Fortnum & Mason, and Ting at the Shangri-La hotel in The Shard to see how they compare on price, location, food and service.

Afternoon tea at the Wolseley, in London, was relatively affordable, great portions, beautiful classic tea set up in a gorgeous building with so much character. It wasn't too posh, nor too casual. It was a full house that day. As a tourist, it was everything I hoped for for about 40 dollars per person. When we finished all three tiers of food and pastries, they offered to refill us on food or tea free of charge! We declined of course, as we were full, but considering how generous the servings were already, this really surprised us. 10/10 recommend!

My wife & I went to the tea at Fornum and Mason and for a traditional tea it was great! I wish we would have seen this before visiting London as I think all 3 would have been on our list. The Rosewood Hotel looked art fabulous and tea at Ting in the Shard would have been worth the 5 minute champagne wait just to take in that view. Thanks Jess, great video!

Could have been called High Tea with the Google Pixel 5

Thanks for the Fortnum & Mason recommendation. My girlfriend and I had tea there a few weeks ago. It was my first time visiting London; and it was the perfect first stop on our trip. It is a bit expensive, 70 dollars each. But the food, products and atmosphere there are just so refined. Thanks again!

Really helpful video, Jess! It’s going to be my 3rd time in London but first time that I am going to book afternoon tea so I think you have me leaning toward F & M even though I am a sucker for a great view! 😆

I just love afternoon tea in London. I went to Brown's Hotel in Mayfair. Definitely very pricey but it was lovely. It was so filling it was the only food we ate all day. My friend is gluten free and she was extremely impressed with their gluten free options, even saying the gf scones were as good as she remembered her grandmothers traditional scones to have been.

Probably the most informational video I have seen yet, will probably be going to one of the three mentioned in the video. Thanks!

This was a very nice video Jess. I really liked all of the details of each place that you made sure to point out. You always show so many things to see and do. I'll have to spend a lot more time in London lol

[gerrardruthven]

Shangri-La gets my vote. I saw a programme about the Corinthia London, first episode dealt a lot with them devising their new afternoon tea. Was interesting seeing the thought that went into it.

Great video Jess . Really enjoyed it plus very informative as usual . Clearly not a cheap afternoon if I'm paying for two ! But as a treat, yes, worth it for the experience for sure . Was on my list last time in London but couldn't squeeze everything in . Missed out on Afternoon Tea ( have had it before ) . Had to settle for Afternoon Pint instead ! LOL . Next time .

Well, you got me! I, m staying some days at London and after watching your video I, ve decided to pay a visit to Fortnum and Mason for having afternoon tea. I, ll let you know about my experience!

I've consistently found your videos helpful. But just a bit of criticism here, this felt like one large Google Pixel commercial.

I've been happily using Pixels since the Pixel 3 XL. Just stick to the advertising at the beginning and get to the content.

[EllenGerstein]

I found this video informative and great. Sure there’s a pixel 5 in there but it in no way detracted from the experience. I was happy to not have an ad at the beginning or the middle so if that meant Integrated content, bring it on! The only downside is I can’t decide which of the 3 to do so I may have to pick all of them!

Loved this! Have had the afternoon tea at F&M and loved it. Every time my friend and I come to London, we set up at least one (sometimes two!) afternoon tea reservations. Not only is it a tasty treat but it’s just such eye candy, isn’t it? Great way to relax.

[TheVaughan]

All 3 are great of course. I think if you are a first time visitor it’s probably a good idea to go for the traditional as the genuine article. F&M are just that and other top of the range traditional offerings would be Claridges, the Goring and the Ritz among others. Forget Harrods 😆

Been to at least 20 afternoon teas in London over the years. Rosewood was the best service, inventiveness, flavour. We were blown away. Sketch was right up there with live music. The Four Seasons was the most disappointing, sadly. The Savoy afternoon tea is such a treat as is Browns .

[teaformeplease]

Wow, the tea at the Shangri-La looks amazing! I'm curious, what kind of tea did they serve on the tray? Was there dry ice inside of it?

[laurenl]

Love Fortnum and Mason teas. Love my Google phone. Love all your videos. Thanks for this video! Best wishes from Toronto 🇨🇦💜😊

[marissal.]

Thank you for sharing the different tea services. I will definitely try those places next time I visit London!

I’m so glad things are open up and you’re out and about showing what London had to offer. Makes me excited to get back in November 🤍
