Stunning AFTERNOON TEA at Savoy - Best Afternoon Tea in London

Traditional Afternoon Tea in Savoy is an enduring custom that has been a feature of the hotel since it opened in 1889 as a first luxury hotel in Britain.
Would you like to buy me a coffee?

More information about this #afternoontea is here: www.timetodessert.com/blog/ar...
The traditional afternoon tea experience is priced from £65 + 12.5% service charge.
UPDATE (Jan 2020): The afternoon tea at Savoy is now from £75 + 12.5% service charge.
I booked this afternoon tea to celebrate 1000 subscribers or as I like to call you 'my fellow dessert lovers' and it was the right decision. The lovely team at the Thames Foyer gave us a beautiful box of delicious chocolates from their Tea Shop.
Apparently, they also do chocolate masterclasses there, which I might try in the future.

That's about $220 US ! Little known bit of trivia: London cabs (the traditional ones) are made with very close turning circles specifically so they can make the turn in the roundabout in front of the Savoy, which was originally just for carriages of course.

[@lizleapin1835]

Yeah, I love it but it's a pricey experience for basically a mid-day snack! Go to Vienna and get a slice of Sacher torte and a cup of coffee for about 8 euros!

I had afternoon tea there in 1972 it was about £1.

My favourite afternoon tea in London. Instead of the cake course my Husband upgraded to high tea and got eggs benedict. He said it was the most delicious thing ever. I opted for the cakes. Absolutely amazing.

[@caliv0608]

This is definitely something to bucket list. Ever since throwing fancy tea parties with my friends as a kid, I've wanted to try a high tea. Never could afford it when I lived in England (and I see the prices have certainly not gotten any better) but one day for a splurge it would be amazing!

[@describer99]

Every time I see the bill, I’m shocked it’s so expensive.

[@gerardosalazar161]

You have to be a rich Middle Eastern guy in order not to gasp.

[@gerardosalazar161]

Hitogokochi You’ll always find people who love to throw their money away to show how wealthy they are, and my mother used to call them Nouveau Riches. It’s like the old cliché of someone burning a bank note to light his cigar. Real people lead a comfortable without showing off, wear vintage clothes and will never, ever, mention the word money. By the way, I had a delightful high tea in Hong Kong, great service and music but no being the Savoy the damage was no more than 30 USD. Later on I felt really guilty because everything was so good that I finished all the trays and two pots of tea.

[@TheVaughan5]

You can blame mass tourism for the high prices. The irony is that years ago when only the well off could travel regularly the prices for afternoon tea at a top London hotel were very reasonable. Now it’s becoming a thing to do they cash in on the popularity, can’t really blame them, you don’t have to go to the Savoy etc there are plenty of other options at less than half the price.

[@TheMcleodGirl]

I love watching your videos. I can live vicariously through you until I can make it to London. What amuses me is the shock and horror of comments regarding the bill total as though it is for sandwiches and cake. Just the experience and atmosphere and the chance to immerse yourself in the luxurious surroundings is well worth the price. People drop that amount for a sporting event or a day of skiing. I would much rather have an hour or 2 of refined elegance.. a gracious memory that would stay with me forever.

[@yasnaaraya113]

Thank you for your videos. I love to learn new things.. it´s culture!! Even though it´s expensive, I think that it is worth the experience at least once as a turist

Do you have the link? Those scones don’t look like any others I’ve had or seen served. But they look so delicious!

[@brynleytalbot778]

I think they're steamed in ramekins, rather than baked, given the side profile.

I hope you pick up many more subscribers I always like your personable way of presenting, genuine love for your dessert and different places. Savoy looked the most elegant one.

[@markomarten]

The Savoy is an experience in itself, afternoon tea is something to savour here. I would suggest you allow a little extra money and arrive in a black cab. The door staff are very attentive but so discreet too, they usually ask if you are staying but if not they will ensure you are seen by the staff and helped with your needs. The Savoy is never cheap but you can enjoy it irrespective of your means, the afternoon tea is probably the best in London and so you can rest assured it won’t disappoint you. The atmosphere is very friendly but discreet too. With the piano playing in the background it has a buzz all of its own. If you have the time after you have enjoyed the tea you can go and have a good look around the hotel and enjoy its charm. The decor is excellent and the cocktail lounge is worth a visit too. The small shop sells very good quality stuff at a reasonable price considering it’s right in the heart of London and an iconic place too. The rich and famous have been here before, it could be your turn too.
