[@danielpedersen1688]

@@franciscopineda2594 i don't mind that as long as i get a few sandwiches and teas for that then i'm glad. Here in Copenhagen where i live, to eat out for 2 people is minimum 29 pounds, that's quite a lot considering that's not even with drink, on top of that if u want a drink u pay anything between 3.47-4.67 pounds per person. That's not even a classy restaurant that's just a standard asian restaurant here in the city. it's crazy expensive here. Heck even a danish restaurant here will set u back 7 pounds and that's for a sandwich for 1 sandwich only, if u want 2 u pay 14 pounds and that's not with drink either that's another 3.47-4.67 pounds as i mentioned earlier. It ain't cheap here either can tell u that.

Gosh, I would love working there. For years, probably decades, I’ve been pushing places to do training by immersion like this. And get scoffed at every time. I love that they’re thorough like this. And what he said about a patron asking one question, the first question, and how utterly obnoxious it is when the employee doesn’t know the answer. You don’t have to memorize everything, but at least have a clue. Make an effort. This video is heartening!

For those of us who can remember, we very nearly lost this building altogether......there was a period of decline. In 50s and the 60s when I worked nearby, it was in a sorry state. It was used as British Rail offices leased by the BBC who owned the building then. The bombed part had not been rebuilt. Thank goodness it was rescued with megacash and reopened in splendour.

[@lseward21]

Several years ago my sister and I went to high tea at the Drake hotel in Chicago which was a total delight. Delicious sandwiches and sweets in luxurious surroundings that included music by a woman playing the harp! I highly recommend it if you get a chance. FYI: Americans use the term high tea for what the British call afternoon tea. Our - American - use is actually incorrect in that we think “high tea” sounds more formal and elaborate than afternoon tea but the background for the terms is this: afternoon tea was started by an Aristocrat who was hungry long before the evening meal would be served so she started the tradition of eating small sandwiches and sweets in the late afternoon to tide her over. High tea was the term used for the working class meal that they ate at the end of a long day of work. The name came about because of the height of their chairs and the food was a regular meal. Since so many Americans go to London (at least before Covid!), and look for high tea, there are many places that use that term knowing that’s what Americans are looking for.

[@Pomagranite167]

My first afternoon tea was at the Allis in chicago. It was fantastic. I've since gone to some in philly, and DC as well, and some smaller places near my and my hometown. Always a splendid experience- before i book, i look at pics to see if they actually have creative, pretty scones and pastries as well as a good tea selection. The pics of the decor itself usually says what quality of afternoon tea u will be having lol. I fricken love afternoon tea so much.

[@spark_6710]

I knew that Langham was that place started afternoon tea , but forgotten about it !! It must had been a new excitement, yet more stressful in a sense as " that" place needed to bring the old good British tradition back after the lock downs to British people to provide the comfort & normacy back again !!! As well as to tell the world that it's still alive ( tea traditions )& they were the one ,"that one" again to REINTRODUCE the Brtitish tradition & British way to solace !!! So this touched my heart !! I was born in 1965 ,so hearing they 1st introduced " afternoon tea " back in 1865 was special ,felt some kind of fate ...as my real name in Kanji, one of the character came from Don of Lon -don in Kanji!!! I loved this video!!! 👍👍💜🍰☕🍵🧁🫖🥂🍾💜💜💜🥁🐉🎤💕💞

Very nice, but wish I could have seen the whole menu, the sandwiches, scones and not just the sweets.

I have to share something dear to me... My Aunt Helen Harry (from London) taught me Proper Tea when I was young back in the 60s. When I lived in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (US). Fast Forward... a few years ago... we were putting on a Shakespeare Play "Midsummer Night's Dream"... I help raise funds for the High school play I would do "Afternoon Tea"... My budget was $500. for food to make the Proper Tea... After the first night... People were coming back to buy a Ticket just to get the "Afternoon Tea" and Desert... We sold out every night... to the point, that the last night... everything was sold out and the ACTORS didn't get very much to eat... I had to make more. I made all the deserts by hand... baking way into the earlier morning hours... It was such a delight... So much fun... I have never been so tired in all my life... (Laughing)... I am now an Acting Director... hoping to when I move back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to reopen my Acting Studio for Stage and Film... I really want to have a Mystery Dinner Theatre...and on Sundays, an "Afternoon Tea' with desert... Thank you so much for being so kind to share this delightful video...

I remember the Langham back in the early 80's and also when Disney used it has their 'pre-employment' staff selection venue for the opening of Disney Paris. I worked across the road at the BBC, also in catering, (left after a year) for the board of governors and titled privileged swarays 'gluttonous' dinner parties that always ran late into the night. What some people fail to recognise is the hard work behind the scenes, the unsociable hours that have to be put in to put on 'The Show'. I wouldn't advise any of my friends or family to go into the hospitality sector, that's if you want a family and social life.

On a very normal day we experience scones with cottage cheese and cranberry jam alongside biscuits but on some special occasions or even on some Sunday's when all our friends and family gather for a toast and some booze here and there but it's good to have something like this pastries, tart.. Certainly a worthwhile experience to have once in a while or at least once in a lifetime .. Custard cream always caught my heart and soul and it's not too heavy as a matter of fact which is wonderful, and for the sweet tooth chocolate and fig makes it up, what I can say about the tea it's just so soothing relaxing.. Just a sip is enough to mesmerise, forgot all the clumsiness in the world and just enjoy your tea and I'm certain of it that you'll experience the best afternoon tea you have ever had

I was so delighted to see the lovely floral arrangements throughout this video that contributed to the ambience of the tea. I hope that the success of this tradition continues, for we need those special moments to remember as we make our way through a world in which it is increasingly rare to have experiences of carefully crafted beauty such as this.

[@btsarmyforever3816]

It's literally the budget set by the hotel for these reasons: You are paying for all the expensive things you look at and enjoy, the property tax has to be paid, the staff has to be given a good salary because these are not your off the street ppl, they are educated and highly trained, the washrooms need to be kept very clean and the staff will be at your back and call. So no. You are not paying for the food. The food is probably 20 pounds. The rest is the bill you foot for entering that place and enjoying it's amenities, the brand name, the Instagram pic u put on when u visit that place etc. So yes. This price is not for those with shallow wallets, but with a very deep wallet. It's resonably priced. Affordable depends on how wealthy you are. If this was 200 pounds I would say it's unresonable. But with the 83 pounds per person, it should cover the cost of running this place.

So my butt on that designer-selected chair does not cost them the remaining £63 to enjoy the £20 kit. I'm just saying, it's not exactly a nice day out sort of an activity - it's something you maybe try once and never again if you're in the bottom 97% of Britain.

I was going to London this spring, but had to cancel, we cannot travel during these omicron times it is too dangerous. But I was on different travel sites and this Langham Hotel was not on them for afternoon tea, or at least I never saw it. I saw it on Joolz Guides though. I would love to have afternoon tea at this hotel, it looks so out of this world charming. What a lovely experience afternoon tea here would be.

The piano music playing at 8:02 was the theme to the slasher flick, "Halloween", the scariest movie I've ever seen--mostly because of the frightening and scary piano music. Could have chosen a better selection in trying to promote their new afternoon tea.

Nádhera! 👏👏👏Krásný zvyk ten odpolední čaj...zavedu si tuto tradici i doma na neděli. Etažér doma mám a moc se těším až si pozvu někoho na čaj a nějaké mini dobroty. Vybudovat takový hotel je inspirující a je mi líto, že začínat podnikání v ČR je tak slušně řečeno odrazující. Líbilo by se mi dekorovat interiér hotelu a s úsměvem vítat hosty.

I wish we could have a real afternoon tea here in the USA

In the South, here in the US, there are many versions of mid-morning and afternoon Teas & Coffee with many extras at several places, at peoples homes and Open Houses. Love love love it.

That is really nice. I would love to visit there. those servers did an excellent job, too.

[@danielpedersen1688]

I always wondered are their any differences between afternoon tea at The Langham, The Ritz, Corinthia, The Savoy, Claridge's etc etc.. all these 5 star places or is it just different desserts / sandwiches and teas that u can get and different pricing? i'm from Copenhagen and here we don't have that sort of thing i think, it's more of a British tradition. Been to London few times on holiday, never had afternoon tea, would love to try at one of those places someday when i come back to visit in the near future

Was lucky to win this experience all the way from Australia with a private tea sommelier also,I pray I can return 🌸

Have stayed at the Langham years ago it's a beautiful hotel !

[@jeffreybundy4095]

I've experienced one afternoon tea in my life when I was 12 years old. We went to the empress hotel in Victoria British Columbia. I remember how opulent everything was. If I ever get to England I want to have tea at that beautiful hotel. As it stands right now I'll be having a pot of constant comment and thinking of you.

[@SheriD60208]

Everyone should experience afternoon tea at least once in their lives.

[@robertcampbell8027]

Had a lovely Christmas tea at The Savoy this past December. Not the Langham, but pretty close and a wonderful experience.

[@countryman3460]

I look forward to a Langham indulgent high tea when next in Londontown

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

it is NOT high tea! it is afternoon tea. two totally different things. learn the difference. High tea is just another term for dinner/evening meal with meat dishes, vegetaables, potatoes, soup etc.

The title was so inviting and the video set the mood! Perhaps a video on the "high teas" of the British raj (in good old Mumbai) would also also be welcome!. Once tried these high teas (without any intoxicants), but sinfully indulgent could give one a culture shock for the better!

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

it is NOT a high tea. high tea and afternoon are two completely different things. learn the difference! High tea is just another term for dinner/evening meal, meat, potatoes, vegetables. The question "whats for tea?" literally means "whats for dinner?"

You can't make fun of "British food" anymore. From the very high end hotel to the average pub, it's become a world class cuisine.

I'm watching this and I'm thinking I wouldn't mind trying that. I go on their website, , look at the address and then I think wow around 30 years ago I was working on a hotel refurbishment in Portland Place , the hotel caught fire . Like big fire. It was this hotel. I will have to go now. I've just googled Langham Hotel fire , it was October 1989 . I was a few years out on the timing . So I am walking away from the fire , who do I bump into on the pavement ? The late and most lovely Barbara Windsor !! Gee what a day that was.
