We went there with my friends who came to the UK for their holiday. Everything was very good including food, service and ambience. I strongly recommend to friends.

We all adored it. An extra touch could have been for Willy Wonka to show up.

Great afternoon tea. The tea selection is very good and they let you drink as many tea as you wish. Everything we tried was delicious. I recommend the Alice tea and white rabbit tea. The food is very good. And lots of it. You can feel the high quality of the products. It’s not only food, it’s an experience. We came here instead of lunch and didn’t need anything else. Service is very good, very attentive and lets you know about all the things you can re-order. I will definitely come back again.

As always we REALLY enjoyed our visit to Claridge's Reading Room this time for a celebratory luncheon. Service ; impeccable; food superb; wine divine it is far and away our favourite place to eat. Yes coming in at just under £700 for the two of us it's not cheap but then one wouldn't expect it to be 9and we pushed the boat out a bit because it was a big birthday!) If you want cheap go to Macdonald's (I imagine) if you want class, perfection and sheer joy go to Claridge's. We can't wait to return!

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
