This was definitely a waste of my time and money. $300 USD for subpar/unpalatable finger food and desserts and slow service. Please allocate your money to another experience worthwhile

Booked the Bridgerton themed afternoon tea as a 40th Birthday gift. The surroundings were opulent, which, when accompanied by the live pianist (alternating with broadcast music) and the positive vibe from both the guests and staff, made for an altogether wonderful dining experience.

We faced a 30-minute wait for our table despite having a reservation, which was frustrating. When seated, the two of us were placed at a large table that felt awkward and impersonal. The atmosphere lacked the festive charm we were hoping for. There were no carol singers, no seasonal touches like Christmas cake or even a special Christmas tea blend. It didn’t capture the cozy, holiday spirit that makes afternoon tea at this time of year special. For the price, we expected far better. While the food and tea were fine, the overall experience didn’t justify the expense. We’ve been to other places that deliver far more in terms of ambiance, service, and value. If you’re looking for a memorable and festive afternoon tea experience, you might want to explore other options.

We had a reservation at 3.45 and arrived early. We asked if we could get in early and were told not at the moment but to wait in the bar and if they could seat us early they would. We thought it would be nice in the bar as a prelude to tea but it was very disappointing . Seated next to us was a couple and she was smoking a vape with billows of smoke all over the place. we complained to one of the servers and she said it wasn’t acceptable and she would speak with her. The guest disappeared for a while and we assumed she had gone outside to smoke. She came back and duly started smoking the vape again. The smell was overpowering and as our table want ready we had to evacuate the bar and stand outside . We complained again to the same server and a manager . We were really looking forward to our tea and this really spilled our relax in the bar. The afternoon tea was just OK. After having tea in another establishment there was no comparison. The tea in the Lanesborough was lukewarm and the food was definitely not worth what they charged. Would not go back and a very disappointing experience.
