Welcome to A Blooming British Afternoon Tea in collaboration with the Natural History Museum; a floral-inspired twist on a quintessentially British tradition, in a celebration of the beautiful flowers and precious pollinators on our doorstep.

Taking inspiration from artworks held within the Museum’s archives, their newly transformed gardens that provide a haven for people and wildlife and the idyllic 30-minute nature walk across leafy Hyde Park that brings us together, our talented pastry team have created a delightful menu that beautifully honours the elegance of British flora and fauna, using locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients.

Sit back and enjoy an irresistible assortment of delicately crafted sandwiches, warm baked scones and delectable flora and fauna inspired delicacies, accompanied by two bespoke teas from Camellia’s Tea House. For that added treat, savour a glass of Taittinger Champagne or Nyetimber Sparkling Wine and let the afternoon blissfully slip away!

    Upon entering the hotel, the floral scent is enticing. The small cafe is inviting, with an experienced staff ready to serve your every need. It is a tremendous value with delectable sandwiches, scones that are unmatched, sweets to finish the meal and an impressive tea selection.
