Our busy brunch restaurant serves everything from fried chicken & waffles and our signature avo smash, to bottomless brunch & craft beers.

Favourite afternoon tea I’ve had. It’s not a huge place but its atmosphere is very calming and you don’t feel crammed in. Food was delicious with some different ingredients and flavours from your standard Afternoon Tea, and made it so much better. Staff were great, there when needed but did not hurry us at all - shout out to Anna Maria and Olanike were stand outs. Highly recommended.

7th time here at Corinthia, and Afternoon Tea was Superb. Our server, Matt, was outstanding! His knowledge of the menu, both food and drinks was great and he had me sold of the Sparkling Tea as an alternative as one of our party was tee-total. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday afternoon tea, this is definitely one of my top 3 in London. We will be back soon. J
