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.

Ambiance is great and the place is lovely, but the afternoon tea is super overrated and overpriced for what it is.

It is quite possibly the most beautiful hotel, and tea room in London. The Christmas decor was impeccable, sheer class yet opulent. You felt transported. Staff was impeccable. Bridgerton afternoon tea was fantastic.

Beautiful experience at Christmas! The hotel was decorated wonderfully, the staff were friendly, accommodating and attentive and the Bridgerton festive afternoon tea was delicious, with as many sandwiches and tea as you wanted. We were a table of mixed dietary needs and they were about to cater to all our requirements without any fuss. Definitely worth doing and the perfect treat for a Bridgerton fan!

Food was nice. Service was very very slow. Seems to be two rooms for afternoon tea - one is much nicer than the other. Think we were in the one that wasn’t so nice. Took 20 mins to ask what we wanted to drink. Took 45 mins to bring the food out. Then we asked for extra sandwiches which seemed to be forgotten, we were waiting ages and had to as again

L’accueil était globalement chaleureux, mais une partie du personnel s’est montré très froid. Mention spéciale au serveur qui nous a servi le champagne : il ne nous a ni regardés, ni salués, et n’a échangé aucun mot, ce qui a terni l’expérience. Côté nourriture, c’était très satisfaisant dans l’ensemble, hormis la pâtisserie qui était trop gélatineuse à mon goût. Malgré ces points négatifs, nous avons tout de même passé un bon moment.
