Our Royal Afternoon Tea is a celebration of Her Majesty The Queen, whose first home was 145 Piccadilly, which is now the site of InterContinental London Park Lane. Our pastry chefs have taken inspiration from English afternoon tea classics, as well as ingredients from the Commonwealth countries The Queen has visited over the last 70 years. After sandwiches, scones and pastries—along with a pot of our uniquely blended No.1 Park Lane tea—you'll be presented with a piece of the Queen's favourite chocolate biscuit cake to take home.

The table is too small to fit three persons. After the tea pots brought up on the table, there are no room left. During the whole time, we were the only table in business, but they didn't bother to setup a bigger table, just kept pushing my phone off the table. I ordered three afternoon tea sets, so got two big pots of tea. It's like saying "now you have all your tea, go serve yourselves". We did end up serving ourselves teas. The food is quite plain and overly sweet, not good. The experience was painful. Don't try it.

First when we arrived , the lady shouted at us we close afternoon tea , I said we have reservations and her supervisor lady comes out with her I pad to check, and with her bad attitude again she said you only book a table I show her confirmation book by open table. After again with her bad attitudes she said sit her they will arrange tables. I can leave but i like the afternoon tea experience and this is not my first time. I would like to thank with all my heart ‘’ Sruthy ‘’ her body language for service excellent and I love her and her attitude.

Did afternoon tea with my wife while on holiday in London. It was the one experience on my bucket list (everything else we did was on hers, but that's another story). Made reservations here the day before. Easy to get to after watching opening ceremonies at Buckingham Palace. The teas and food were superb. 3 courses of sandwiches, scones, and pies as well as different tea with each course. Also came with sparking wine to start as part of the package, and a cute little sample of body sprays from Yardley. The staff was spectacular. Our main server (unfortunately I didn't get her name, but she was from Portugal), really made the experience, along with her colleagues. She recommended different combos of teas and food selections, and they were perfect. Super friendly and welcoming. Next I'm in London, I'd do it again at the InterContinental.

We found the Wellington Lounge at the Intercontinental Hotel to meet our interest in an English afternoon tea when the traditional places were full. So worth trying when a last-minute reservation is needed. While the tea is prepared for individual groups, not en masse, the quality of the sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, desserts and teas was excellent, with a greater variety than one usually finds. While not inexpensive, the value is comparable to others and actually a little better, given especially the quality of the sandwiches (additional servings were offered too, and one can try different teas), and the attention to flower fragrances in the ingredients as a welcome special experience.
