Afternoon Tea at The Wolseley Piccadilly in London

One of London's most enduring afternoon rituals, Afternoon Tea at The Wolseley takes place in the heart of Piccadilly — in a room that has welcomed guests since 1921.

The grand arched ceilings, marble columns and European café atmosphere make it a fitting setting for a quintessentially British occasion. Whether you are visiting London or simply seeking an unhurried afternoon, we offer three options to suit every preference.

Cream Tea ~ £19.50 per person
For a traditional Cream Tea, enjoy our handmade fruit scones with homemade jam and clotted cream along with a choice of our teas.

Classic Afternoon Tea ~ £46.50 per person
For a classic Afternoon Tea, enjoy our assortment of finger sandwiches, cakes, fruit scones with homemade jam and clotted cream, accompanied by a choice of our most popular teas.

Champagne Afternoon Tea ~ £59.50 per person
And for those looking for a little afternoon indulgence, enjoy our celebratory alternative – a full Classic Afternoon Tea complete with a glass of Pommery Brut Royal NV.

Furthermore, we also offer an extensive selection of both sweet and savoury treats and desserts, to be enjoyed on their own – perhaps with a pot of The Wolseley’s Afternoon Blend or indeed a glass of champagne. From Millefeuille and Eclairs, to Macarons and Battenberg, all our scones and pastries are handmade each day in our kitchen.
