It's a long walk but the views are spectacular! Book before you go, check whether there are any theatre performances on at the time of your booking. It's very self-service, there are menus on the tables, you book and pay at the bar and they deliver to your table. There's a water station for refills. Overall, the food is good but you really go for the location.

A pleasant afternoon tea at the Langham however the traditional scones were quite disappointing. They were more like a biscuit than a traditional fluffy scone very small. Service ok but also a bit slow to bring out the afternoons tea!
