    A lovely festive tea. We had dreadful issues getting to The Savoy with nightmares on the tube and were 45 mins late. We rang to tell them and staff were wonderful- kept our table for us and were not rushed at all to get through our tea Big thank you to the staff for that. Service was excellent from Guiseppe- explained everything and very attentive..Got a second helping of sandwiches for no extra cost. Delicious. Especially liked the egg brioche. Lemon curd was also a winner with the scone ! Also very happy for us to take home the cakes we couldn't finish in beautiful box. Our table was lovely- round and in the corner. Savoy beautifullly decorated and a wonderful Christmas treat. In my view the refurbishment is fantastic. Absolutely love The Savoy - our go to place for special occasions.

    Had the most wonderful afternoon tea with my daughter at The Rose Lounge! The pink decor and cozy chairs made us feel like princesses, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. Love how they served everything on traditional tiered stands – the warm scones were a highlight and my daughter couldn't get enough of the treats! Perfect spot for a special mother-daughter date in London, though definitely book ahead. Worth the magical experience!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
