After 4 previous memorable visits I can no longer recommend this afternoon tea. The food was excellent. The atmosphere is lovely and the noise level is very low. However, after the first service our waiter disappeared, never to be seen again. Second orders never arrived, our orders were seemingly forgotten and confusion reigned. This service was like a boat adrift with no one in charge. At these prices completely disapointing and appaling value for money. We will not be returning. A pity as we had enjoyed it so very much in past visits.

Lovely Afternoon Tea. Sandwiches were very tasty and the scones gorgeous. Didn’t have any of the cakes as we were too full but they were boxed up for us so yet to have them. The alcoholic cocktail was most enjoyable together with the champagne we ordered. Went to another high end hotel last year but we all agreed The Lanesborough was far nicer. The staff were friendly and nothing too much trouble and the ambience was relaxing. Definitely recommend.

From the moment we arrived at The Lanesborough, we felt so welcome and at home. It was our daughter's birthday and with her being a Bridgerton fan, the theme of the afternoon tea was perfect. The team were fantastic and made the celebration special. The sandwiches and pastries were excellent, we particularly enjoyed the roast turkey sandwich and Book of Eloise. Thank you so much for a really enjoyable and memorable afternoon.

A very nice Afternoon Tea experience in a lovely hotel and setting. Very informal and relaxed. The food was delicious but the price is a lot higher than other hotels and the suggested 15% service charge a surprise. The doggy bag of leftover cakes and scones was Lanesborough branded and very nice. If you're lucky you might spot Lilebet the hotel cat prowling around the hotel.

This was definitely a waste of my time and money. $300 USD for subpar/unpalatable finger food and desserts and slow service. Please allocate your money to another experience worthwhile
