Simple, and easy to maintain the quality. A Time Out review has meant that getting a booking for this place is more than a little tricky these days but I ended up there a month ago with two friends and had a great afternoon. As you find yourself in the front room, nestled around a table that touches every corner of the room you don't forget for one second this is not a restaurant and that is part of its beauty. The service, the surroundings, the food are all at a tangent of your "normal" experience. I mean, we even spoke to the people sitting opposite. The effort Lady Gray and her husband took to relax, feed and stuff you were laudable. The champagne to start was, well champagne. The cheese biscuits to go with it were the highlight. The rest of the cream tea was good, not grand Hotel good, but good. Where they really stood out was on the teas, a selection of 10s and with each person getting their own little teapot. All you can do when you meet such nice people as Lady Gray and her husband is wish them well and thank them for a great experience. Price - £25 a head with all the tea you want

Their afternoon tea was for two people, and as just one person, the server recommended the cream tea and adding in a savory. I chose the pate (because I love pate!) over the sandwiches. I was pleasantly surprised that the server created a mini stack for me. The tea was quite flavorful but the scones were a bit lacking. Of the 4 tea places I went to this week, these scones were the driest. Even covering them in jam and cream wasn't enough--I wanted to dunk them in tea. The pate was delicious though, came with lots of toast, as well as fresh sliced cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. I also loved the fresh fruit (strawberries and cherries), and lovely marshmallows. Venue was also pretty cool--lots of visitors to people watch. Would recommend location, but skip the scones!

The scones and clotted cream were beyond amazing, and the sandwiches were great too! Only con is that this place is hard to find, but that's not their fault. After wandering around for like 30 minutes we finally found it. Go inside the market, go down the flight of stairs past the cereal shop and into the basement. Look around past all the clothes and bags for a bookstore, and past the books you will find the tea shop!

After an Autumn walk over the Heath this looked like the perfect place to have a tea and scone whilst warming up. It's a nice enough place and the cakes here are delicious but i can't help but feel a little disappointed as i felt the service would be better and more friendly. They also sell some tasty pastries and light snacks. Their iced chocolate drink is tasty and they also sell milkshakes alongside the typical selection of coffees and teas. They also have indoor and outdoor seats and i expect in summer it would be a nice place to sit out and enjoy a drink. Overall a pleasant experience but hopefully the staff will cheer up in case i decide to pop in again.

My husband and I had the privilege of booking afternoon tea during our recent visit to London. The total cost was approximately $175 USD and served one pot of tea with the flavor of your choice along with delicate sized sandwiches and several desserts on a tiered platter. Alejandro, our server, was not only hospitable but knowledgeable with the tea offerings. Service was also efficient and the presentation was refined. That, along with the stunning view, made our experience memorable. The only part that STAINED my delight was being seated next to 3 overly pretentious young women who, while dressed well & presented the proper image, did not possess the etiquette they "TRIED" to present. It was more obnoxious than sophisticated. To give you a better visual - think 'ladies who lunch' but with the tone that matched women who discussed men like they were at a bar rather than an upscale tea room. I found their conversation inappropriate, immature and rude. They spoke loudly enough for perhaps a third of the room to hear. Other than that, I would recommend The Library for all that it offers - just cross your fingers you aren't seated too closely to a trio of young 20-somethings who think they have the male population all figured out like they've watched and taken notes of every episode of 'Sex and the City'.

After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish. EVERYTHING was delicious! From the English tea down to the Pimms jello HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London.

Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!

London was one of my stops and later I was going to meet my friend in Barcelona. While in London I wanted to have the afternoon tea experience and I found it this cute place near where I was staying. Tea Darling was giving heavy cottage vibes: warm, cozy, and nicely decorated. The flamingo wall paper in the bathroom? Gorgeous. Not to mention it smelled AMAZING. Fresh baked and delicious. It was a rainy day so it was just me and this other family having tea. When they left they left the shop owner Pam and I were just vibing. She was so nice and welcoming. Told me how she got the idea of this place after planning a tea party for her daughter's birthday. I can't wait to come back.

The inside is unique as we discovered the outdoor rooftop eating area after several stairways and tight turns. The restaurant area is surprisingly large. We ate in the upstairs outdoor area which was charming. For my order, I tried to order the scone meal but they were out of them so I got the bacon and egg sandwich on a brioche bun as a backup. It came with two hash brown triangles and was fresh and filling and very yummy. My dining companions had the Veg Cockney which is a full vegetarian breakfast and another had the Eggs Scotland (Eggs Benedict with Scottish smoked salmon). I tried a bit of each and enjoyed them. The Clarence Court Leghorn Eggs they use have a brilliant orange-ish yellow to the yolk and I swear they taste better than the ones in the States. This is cute place with great homemade food that hits the spot!
